Looks funny because of how old it is, but they are actually teaching solid fundamentals here.

Stumbled upon this gem of a video featuring a boxer who enters easily the Top 10 Best Welterweight Ever, Emile Griffith, teaching us the art of pugilism.

Incredible that we have this footage available.

He did other things too. He was lineal and undisputed champion at both 147 and 160.

Griffith was a bad dude! Marvin Hagler somewhat built his style from Griffith!
