    Greb is hand cuffed and has 10lb weights on both his ankles?
    And a patch over his good eye!

    Greb is like Dark Energy, even though we can't see him we know he was the strongest force in the history of the sport....

    Over 25 rounds Greb has no chance. Eventually he is going to get hit by something akin to the right that fell Walcott and it's lights out.

    Is Marciano on roller skates, because they might improve his mobility? Does he also get to wear elbow and knee pads for when he swings wildly, misses, and falls over? I only ask because in Grebs era he would have been allowed to stand over the fallen Marciano and smash him as he gets up.

    I'd hate to be the guys standing over Marciano waiting to smash him as he tries to get up...if he gets up...(which he would)...you are dead meat!!!

    It took him another 12 rounds to ko Walcott ,and seven more to subdue Moore .Hardly Johnson getting up and koing Ketchel with his first flurry.

    Tunney picked Greb over Marciano.

    And he named Dempsey the greatest heavyweight of all time. He said Jeffries and Marciano beat on old men.:think

    He named Dempsey greatest of all time because he kicked his ass twice. It makes his wins and his legacy look better

    Tunney knows what he's saying


    Do you take what every fighter says seriously?

    Archie Moore said no fighter past present or future could Slug it out with Marciano and come out Alive

    Do you agree with that quote?

    Greb was an attrition, speed, inside type fighter, Marciano had one punch ko power.

    Greb has a low KO percent. Rocky.. well...... This ends in a KO.

    Just a matter of when.

    This is listed incorrectly as .25 rounds, so I thought it was a 45 second bout.

    Anyway the bias is betrayed by providing not one but THREE very significant handicaps to Greb. Are you kisdding?
    There is no reason to have confidence Greb could avoid being finished by Marciano in any fight, let alone a long one (though he might), & you want to negate any offense by him using HANDCUFFS? Which would seriously limit his mobility.

    Fuhgetibout making him at least 1/2 blind, limit his depth perception, & slow him down via weights...

    Given these encomberances it would be tough to avoid being KOed for 1/3 of a round, if Marciano had the heart to really try.

    Do you agree with the one he made that says Durelle hit him harder than Marciano? TOUCHE!
