    Based off of Oakland's thread. Echols is a journeyman and Harry Greb is the greatest boxer of all time, but Echols is newer I guess so it's fair?

    What do the fans think.

    I thought Greb wasn't real?

    Hes like santa or the boogeyman, he's a myth classicists made up to deny that Floyd Mayweather is the GOAT

    I mean think about it, no footage of his fights exist. Sounds sus to me.

    Ah yes, I heard he lives under Floyd's bed. Spooky.

    Echols stops the ridiculously primitive Greb in round 6

    No one who boxed before Ali invented the fist could beat a modern athlete like Echols.

    How can anyone call Greb the greatest of all time when none of us have ever seen him fight?

    Echols was no journeyman. Until the last ten years of his career.

    Seems silly to compare Echols to an all time great. I'm not sure he'd even beat the tough guys of Hagler's era: Hamsho, Scypion, Sibson, Parker, Roldan, Fletcher.
