    Don't sweat it. It just means that you're naturally a fan of heavyweights, and you've been watching too many lighter weight guys. Go watch some Tim Witherspoon. Enjoy.

    No doubt, but surely it is either:

    1. Greb

    2. Haglonzon

    or:

    1. Haglonzon

    2. Greb

    I don't think it's impossible to split them but I think it's pretty close so I guess it's just personal preference and of course very very close to these three there is Robinson and burley should I put greb below all great fighters that he preceded

    Let's not forget Ketchel. Fleischer and others who saw both Greb and Ketchel rated Stanley the great middleweight.

    H, since Nat Fleischer saw Ketchel fight ,he and others rated Ketchel as the greatest MW ever. Until near the end of his life a question in the Ring
    Question column, Nat answered a reader asking who was the best MW. ?Fleischer answered Harry Greb... For what it's worth...

    Ya but none of those guys were alive to see Haglar fight, so what your saying is irrelevant....Sorry, as usual.

    Jimmy McLarnin was. He chose Greb over Hags, for what it's worth
