Does Andy Griffith Smoke? This could be called love in Griffith's twisted sense of the idea.
So Does Griffith Love Guts or Not?
Part of what makes Griffith's true feelings so hard to determine is how ambiguously they were presented. Doing so would either be a disservice to its nuances.
For one thing, it's necessary to understand what Griffith sees in Guts.
And if fight fans get that, then other factors, like the boxer’s sexuality, are irrelevant. But Griffith wasn't one for labels. As one boxing sage has brilliantly described: “So central to the drama of boxing is the referee that the spectacle of two men fighting each other unsupervised in an elevated ring would seem hellish, if not obscene—life rather than art.

I disagree with you when you say that sexuality is complex, only people with a stretch point of view make sexuality a complex thing.
I don’t think that everybody haves the potential to be "a gay, a straight or a bis or even belong to a more extreme "registred" category (bestiality or other stuff like that)"

I’ve counted 24 vicious, on-the-button, unanswered punches that Griffith landed before referee Ruby Goldstein (known as the “The Jewel of the Ghetto”), stepped in to stop the fight.

It's reasonable to assume Griffith thought of Guts as more than a friend, even if nothing was explicitly stated.
Former welterweight and middleweight champion, Emile Griffith, died this week at the age of 75.
Some said he was too slow in reacting to the carnage, possibly too mesmerized or shocked by it. This was at least in part due to the conflict between stories of that sort and the typical narrative that accompanies boxing. Before, he kept people at arm's length to focus on his goals without worrying about everyone he'd have to sacrifice.

Andy Griffith Videos. His memory can, and should, be a reminder that sexuality has nothing to do with athletic ability, and that specifically as to those who step into a fight, that grit and courage are not the province of heterosexuals alone.
Rest in peace, Emile.
The referee makes boxing possible. This is why they find it surprising when he goes out of his way to give Guts special treatment. Griffith's inner thoughts are rarely shown, so fans have read him through his words, expressions, and actions.
