Two part Question 1) Who wins? 2) Who's greater? The rules for the fight 18.5ft ring, 15 rounds, 175lbs, 1920s ref with old school gloves and shoes
Greb only had two stoppage losses. One at around 18 years old, and another due to a bone fracture , which he tried to continue with, and even won the round before the doctor stopped it. Greb ain't getting stopped.
To be honest, probably not. I still pick him though, due to his style and activity. He dealt with heavier men very well, maybe even easier than the lighter ones. Though they may have hit harder than Langford, they definitely can't apply it like Langford did. I see Greb in a war.
Greb would probably outwork him, but Langford was such an experienced guy that he could find the way to beat him. KO from either side is extremely unlikely, but Sam could stagger him and that could change the outcome. Quite a shame that we don't have any footage from Greb. Langford looks unbelievable on the footage we have.
Greb is greater but there isn’t any fight footage available so I can’t assess the match-up. I’d have both top 5 all-time without doubt.
Hard to say , not actually seeing Greb but from what I've picked up on both men I'd say .. Tough close fight but Langford coming out on top ,by point s win .
Greb is a better fighter than Langford. It would have been a great fight. I see Greb winning by decision.
They could actually fight in real world. Who would you take between green Greb and past prime Langford?
Well a past prime Langford would have like a 20lbs weight advantage and with the power he already has I'd pick him by stoppage
Prime-for-prime I would pick Langford. Langford would also be a good deal bigger. The key thing here is that a) despite the size difference either pick is reasonable and b) Greb would take the fight.
I think Greb does enough to outbox Sam but with rematches it may be a different story. The greater of the two is probably just Greb but only 1 place between them.
