Timeline

1970

Montell Julian Griffin (born June 6, 1970) is an American former professional boxer.

Montell Griffin was born June 6, 1970, in Chicago.

1992

By age 22, Griffin was living in Midway City, California and defeated Frank Vassar of Spokane, Washington in the 1992 U.S. Amateur Boxing Championships.

He defeated future heavyweight contender Jeremy Williams at the box-offs, to make the 1992 Olympic team.

Griffin compiled an amateur record of 36-5.

He won the 1992 United States Amateur Light Heavyweight title.

At the 1992 Olympic Trials in Worcester, Massachusetts, Griffin was outpointed in the final by Jeremy Williams.

However, at the Olympic Box-offs he outpointed Williams twice, to earn an Olympic bid at light-heavyweight.

His Olympic results were:

1993

Griffin, nicknamed "Ice," began his pro career in 1993.

1995

He rose to prominence when he defeated James Toney twice by controversial decisions in 1995 and 1996.

The second victory over Toney earned Griffin a lucrative bout against WBC champion Roy Jones Jr..

1996

After his 1996 win over Toney, Griffin landed a shot at WBC light-heavyweight title holder Roy Jones Jr.. Griffin handed Jones his first professional defeat via a disqualification.

A frustrated Jones dropped Griffin with a series of hard and fast, head and body punches in round nine, and then hit him again twice on the head after Griffin had taken a knee on the canvas, leading to Jones's disqualification.

They had an immediate rematch, and on August 21, Jones regained the WBC title by knocking out Griffin in the first round.

After the loss to Jones, Griffin remained a top-ranked light-heavyweight for six years.

He won 11 of his next 12 bouts, losing only a controversial split decision to undefeated but unknown southpaw Eric Harding, despite knocking him down and out-landing him according to punchstats.

Four consecutive knockout wins later, the now 38-2 Griffin squared off against 40-0 Lineal/WBO champion, Dariusz Michalczewski in Germany.

The 29-year-old Griffin won the first three rounds on the cards but was cut by the 31-year-old Michalczewski's jab in the second round.

In the fourth, Griffin was twice staggered, and took 14 unanswered shots to the head and gloves, which forced referee Joe Cortez to stop the bout.

1997

He held the WBC light heavyweight title in 1997 and challenged twice for a world title.

2003

After defeating Derrick Harmon and George Khalid Jones by unanimous decisions, Griffin earned a shot at the vacant WBC/IBF titles against Antonio Tarver in 2003, losing a wide decision.

Now in his mid-thirties, a faded Griffin would go on to lose to Rico Hoye by split decision, Julio César González when the bout was stopped in the early goings on a technicality and sent to the scorecards, and Glen Johnson by TKO 11; all three were IBF eliminators.

He also lost on points to Beibut Shumenov

Griffin compiled a very respectable resume over the course of his career: he has two wins over James Toney, a disqualification wins over Roy Jones Jr.., and wins over contenders Ka-Dy King, Ray Lathon, Randall Yonker, Derrick Harmon and George Khalid Jones.
