    He also beat all of those fighters you listed. As well as beating those he has beaten 13 HOF fighters, a record that can only increase.

    Are you able to name a LHW with a better win list than Greb?

    Ok

    How capable are you at listing those with victories over 13 different HOF fighters? Actually it's increased since 2010 since more have been inducted, but let's keep it easier for you with just listing those with victories over 13.

    you could beat a prime ali tomorrow... but if you loses against a bum by ko i will not rank you at all.... also... even if he did beat to some of them sometimes he also lost against the best guys that he fought

    But can you supply a list of fighters from any division with victories over 13 or more members of the HOF?

    So you can't provide a list then?

    Why do you take part in discussions about these fighters you know so little about?

    He lost two controversial decisions to Flowers, a man he'd reportedly beaten already.

    He lost decisions to Tunney and Gibbons but he'd also beaten them.

    He lost by DQ to Norfolk but also beat him.

    As a WW he was knocked out by Chip who was a stone heavier, of course after putting weight on he beat him also.

    The only loss he never avenged was a broken arm in a fight he was winning.

    The fact that you cannot name anyone I'm history with a resume as good as his should tell you everything you need to know really.

    We're basically in agreement...My thread title is click bait, but with that said, I think Greb is an ATG at light heavyweight as well. Thumbs up for admitting your Darcy agenda...LOL. We are also in agreement that Les Darcy was a force to be reckoned with (I am a Darcy fan). Where I disagree is I think Greb demonstrated superiority over Gibbons in how the reports say he won the last fight...Being considered for a Dempsey fight, Gibbons would have (presumably) been on his "A game" and he was thoroughly beaten...and Gibbons was a very good fighter. Levinsky? He lost to Greb...Pure and simple. Cheers man...

    You do realize that if one has 300 bouts, there will be losses in there... especially in an era of no video, no scouting, riding trains overnight to fight the next day, no time to recuperate from injury. He fought almost once a week. Sh*t was bound to happen. What would Floyd's record be if he tried to maintain a schedule?

    Not in the top ten at light heavyweight and as time passes those who had him at 7-10 will be moving him out.

    Your opinion. Myself and most for that matter would disagree. No one is going to produce a record like Greb's ever again, that in itself will keep the standing intact.

    Who in recent years has accrued a better record at light heavyweight?

    I don't see how you could even make a coherent case for anybody post Spinks!
