    Dempsey avoided Greb and Wills. Tunney beat Greb, and offered Wills a match. Wills declined.

    Anything over 175 in those days was a heavyweight. Mcvey_Rainer_Tonto62 have been banned at least twice. He should man up and say, okay I guess I was wrong.

    Raises an eyebrow? Wilder? I'd pick Shannon Briggs to have the same record vs the same opponents. Wilder needs to beat someone decent that isn't old to sniff the top 15. Tubbs 20?

    Greb weighed 168lbs, so he was not a heavyweight its pretty simple really. If Deontay Wilder fought Canelo Alvarez 167lbs and beat him ,would that count as a heavyweight win for Wilder?

    That little ban virtually corroborated everything I said; bravo McNugget.

    Learn how to stand on your own two feet, SNITCH.

    No deception on my part I dated the Tunney v Greb fight I referred to.
    Here is my post.
    Carpentier was 173lbs Gibbons179lbs ,and the heaviest Greb weighed in his fights with Tunney was 171lbs.
    Carpentier was unranked and Greb was unranked because when he was 171lbs for the Tunney fight,[ 1923 ,] ratings did not exist.
    It's not my fault you cannot read properly!

    Ketchel going by the weight given for him in the Johnson fight [170lbs] was a super middleweight when he fought Johnson.You have a habit of accusing anybody who disagrees with you of being a liar.You need to learn to read properly.

    You were banned? I didn't know, and I had nothing to do with it.
    But your anti-Semitic post deserved it, so I'm very glad you were.
    If I ever have any occasion to report you I will tell you I have,be sure about that!

    No I actually dated the fight so there can be no question of my deceiving or attempting to deceive anyone.
    Tunney fought18 men as a professional that technically ,since they were over 175lbs can be classified as heavyweights.
    Greb and Carpentier are not among them.

    BS.

    You're an insipid little creep sat behind a keyboard, that RATS on people when emotionally triggered.

    You already have.

    I didnt know you had been banned but, if it was for your anti-Semitic post it was justified.imo
    Just remember, I didn't dig you out when you came back,you came looking for grief with me.
    I didn't instigate this ,you did .
