    You literally have.

    Also, Greb and Robinson didn’t fight decades apart.

    The almost 80 years since SRR was in his prime is sufficiently recent that you deem it silly to pick a winner , but 20 years prior to that is sufficiently long enough ago that you can definitively pick against a fighter of whom no footage exists.

    Would you pick Mayweather over Tunney too? How about Dempsey?

    You must not know the sport like I do if you fail to understand how much fighters changed between WWI and WWII.

    Robinson was in his prime in the mid to late 40’s.

    Greb fought in the 20’s, with his final fight being in 1926.

    You contradicted yourself.

    There’s nothing else to say.

    I suppose it’s better than saying that Floyd would have schooled Robinson though.

    Why England? Why not Vegas or New York?

    He meant “For all the money in England” as in - for a huge amount of money.
