1973 George Foreman vs 1919 Jack Dempsey

Or maybe the newspaper reports are an exaggeration? Ever think about that? They are after all from Pittsburgh newspapers, Greb's hometown. Greb wasn't even winning most of the rounds in some of these fights. In the third fight 7 entire rounds were even with one being given to Brennan and the rest to Greb, according to Charles J. Brill. Even means they could go either way. Greb wasn't proving to be better than Brennan for even the majority of the fight. Just 7 rounds. What if someone saw those even rounds differently? Maybe for Brennan?

And it totally matters how many fights they had because you should know what the hell you're talking about.

If you want to say that Greb deserved a title shot against Dempsey you'll get no argument from me. If you want to say that Brennan wasn't a worthy title opponent then you'll certainly get an argument from me. Again, fighters in those days got title shots according to reputation. The public voted for Brennan to get a shot in 1921 and made no mention of Greb.

Dempsey wasn't down on points against Brennan. The newspaper clearly says that Dempsey was Brennan's master at nearly every stage of the fight and gave Brennan only about 2 rounds. You haven't provided any evidence whereas I have.

 

You're ****ing weird bro. Stop being so emotionally invested in these fighters.

"In early 1922, a national poll placed Harry Wills as the preferred next challenger for Dempsey, just edging out contenders Tommy Gibbons and Bill Brennan."

No mention of Greb in early 1922 when he had beaten Brennan 4x and Gibbons once (lost 2x).

 

Jesus Christ it's like you can't even read half of the time. I never said that Brennan deserved a title shot over Greb.

How can Greb deserve a title shot when Wills wasn't given a title shot?

 

Well you see boxing is a business you dumb mother****er and the fans pay for the tickets. Not some whack job named Suzie on the internet 100 years later. They wanted to see Dempsey fight Wills, Gibbons, and Brennan according to the poll. Not Greb. Read it and weep.

 

Oh my god dude you're so stupid it's mind numbing. This is the source from boxrec. Whoever put the numbers in on Dempsey's record did it incorrectly.

He came in at 198 for Brennan and 193 for Firpo. Dempsey was not overweight in the slightest. He was right on point.

You've lost this argument.

 

Brennan was never "curb stomped" by Greb. I think you're rather over emotionally invested in the topic. Maybe you should take a step back before you have a stroke.
