    Why are you entertaining this? Mayweather at his peak was around 130/135. Greb 160+

    How about someone like Greb vs Marvin Hagler, Carlos Monzon or someone at his weight class?

    That would be better.
    It's about stupid MayWeather fans that thinks he beats every MW in history but he would get destroyed by every of them.

    The boxers in that era were smaller on average and their skillset sucks in comparison to modern boxers.

    Didn't you read my post or do you have trouble understanding English ?!
    Greb challenged guys who were just 1 or 2 classes above him and since on average the men were smaller in that era, the size disparity wasn't that big. Mayweather would need to challenge a SMW tops, no higher than that.

    Greb, as well as all the boxers from that era stand no chance against modern boxers.

    Get real, Calzaghe would mop the floor with Greb.

    Moore was simply being respectful, Tunney stands no chance.

    First of all, that's pure speculation.
    And second, what relevance does that have ?!?

    No, cause in this era, boxers actually know how to use their size to their advantage.
    Greb wouldn't even be a contender in this era.

    Cause Greb fought over 100 years ago, the men in that era suck in comparison to modern ones. Greb is no different in that regard.

    Then there are old times fans who believe everything that is black and white and grainy as hell to watch think they beat every modern fighter.

    Two sides to every coin here bub.

    Ray Robinson and Jack Dempsey are more skilled than any boxer today.
    Dempsey is more skilled than any hw now and Ray is more skilled than any MW today.
    So how those stiff steroid bums are more skilled?
    Tunney is same size as today LHW.
    He is bigger than Canelo,Kovalev or Bivol so why MayDucker did not challenged them if he could?
    He would not challenge even man his size.
    Dempsey and Louis would destroy every stiff HW bum today.
    Today boxers are just stiffs and steroid freaks without any skill.
    Hell even worst fighters of that era has better skill than Wilder.
    Greb would kill him.
    Bigger,better,faster and stronger.
    Wrong Moore was big ego guy and he would not tell anything other than true things.
    Tunney was bigger than Ezzard and as skilled he would beat Moore.
    Greb whooped a guy who would destroy guys who would destroy MayGayWeather inside of 1 round.
    Greb would have better chance against any HW than MayWeather.
    How they use their size when they gas and stop punching after 4th round.
    Greb is all wrong for them.

    SRR fought in the 40s and 50s, not in the 10s and 20s, he's from a different era.
    Dempsey isn't more skilled than modern boxers, you are delusional.

    Cause Canelo, Kovalev and Bivol are a million times more skilled than anyone in Greb's era.

    No they wouldn't, they'd get their arse handed to them.
    Someone like Tyson would beat both on the same night, by round 1 KO.

    And yet Wilder will still spark anyone from that era. He'd probably send Greb to the hospital with a punch.

    Only in your delusional mind.
    Calzaghe is the one who's way more skilled, stronger and faster.

    Tunney wouldn't beat ****, Moore destroys him.
    Unlike your boy Greb, there's footage of Tunney and Moore. Moore sparks him.

    Greb doesn't even stand a chance against a modern MW, let alone a modern HW.

    Greb wouldn't even be a contender.

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! You can't be serious! Dempsey would be a bum in today's HW era. I'd be surprised if he even had a winning record if he fought today.

    I honestly can't believe people think Greb or Dempsey would be competitive against modern boxers. It's like thinking Jesse Owens could beat Usain Bolt in a race.

    So no head movement stiff slow bums like Wilder or Fury are better than Dempsey who is one of the most skilled HWs ever?
    He would destroy those bums.

    You're kidding, right? Dempsey wouldn't last a round against either Wilder or Fury.

    Dempsey wouldn't even be big enough for the modern HW division. He'd have to fight at CW.

    Yet he is more skilled and better p4p.
    No fighter of 10s or 20s scored so many Knockouts and not even any fighter's KOs looks awesone as SRR.
    He is.
    Wilder and Fury have not head movement,speed,combo,defense...of Jack Dempsey.
    Nope.
    Tunney is more skilled and better fighter.
    Canelo,Kovalev and Bivol are big stiffs no skills.
    They are not known for anything that is related to skills.
    Tyson was destroyed by bum Douglas and Williams plus he struggled with bums like Tillis and Golota.
    Dempsey and Louis would kill no skill bums today.
    Dempsey would throw 1000 punches while Wilder and Fury just one.
    Nope.
    Calzaghe is not faster than Greb according to 2 guys that witnessed Greb and saw Joe.
    Similar styles but Greb is way better,faster,stronger and skilled.
    Greb worked daily with construction workers to gain his strenght.
    Moore could not beat Ezzard Charles let alone Bigger,stronger Tunney.
    Moore would be badly outboxed by Tunney.
    Tunney is better boxer and stronger man than Moore.
    Not even Dempsey could beat him, he would kill Archie.
    Greb would destroy each one.
    They are stiffs without stamina.
    He wont...he would be a champion and no one would beat him for a long time.

    Dempsey destroyed guys their size inside two rounds.
    And those guys were way tougher.
    Even that old Dempsey would kill them let alone Dempsey today with nutrition,steroids,modern training.
    He is just way better unlike those guys who just talk.

    Don't even argue, he thinks Roy Jones would beat Foreman and that Ray Robinson is a bum compared to today fighters.
    He is not worth it.

    Based on who they beat, and the weight classes they competed in, we would have to make Greb favorite.

    Mayweather was a fraud...can't punch...he'd have been eaten alive in the 1940's...50's...and 1960's!
