Sugar Ray Robinson would have cut Greb to pieces

Greb looks fantastic in his workout footage. He had unbelievable speed, and his physique is alien.

This is the dream match for the ages.

 

Jesus, this place has gone down the sh*tter.

People judging a 300 fight veteran on some goofing around and handball footage he did late in his career.

 

I've not seen Greb fight so can't comment.

 

Please forward me the Greb footage so that I can make an informed decision on this matter

 

Thanks but I was actually being facetious I meant fight footage. These Greb threads are fun but ultimately pointless without actual fight film to see.

 

Me neither

 

There's no way of rating him against the likes of Hagler at middle or Ezzard Charles at light heavy without seeing him fight.

 

You'd have to hope he was better than his shadow boxing suggests.

 

That was supposed to be a working list. I was taking recommendations and adjustments. I am fascinated by that era below the heavies but make no claim to be an expert. That said, I do find Darcy a bit overrated, more of a what could have been than actually what was.

 

You can definitely tell that Greb is special by his workout footage alone.

His hand speed isn't normal

A fight film would help tremendously though.

 

Who ever brutally slayed Greb? And how many out-boxed him? Robinson to KO Greb? I doubt it. Greb routinely survived much bigger and more powerful fighters than Robinson. Robinson lost to the only light-heavy he faced while Greb beat a slew of all-time great light-heavies. Robinson also either lost to or struggled with the best middleweights he fought, none of whom was as good as Greb. To say Robinson wins 4/4 is absurd.
