Compare Robinson and Grebs resumes.

Also in terms of dominance Greb lost series to Flowers and Tunney, drew his series with Norfolk, Tommy Gibbons and Mike Gibbons.

 

I'm assuming you based that report on Zulu Kid on his Boxrec page? He was considered one of the very best Welterweight/Middleweights of the entire era.

As for Blackburn, yes he was a natural LW, who made his living beating larger men all the way up to LHW. As for his record at the time, the majority of those were Newspaper decision losses against, yes, larger men. Not to mention Greb was relatively inexperienced at the time he beat him.

 

Charles lost both fights with Marciano, lost his only fight with Johnson, his only fight with Valdes, lost the series to Ken Overlin, drew with Walcott, Elmer Ray, and guys like John Holman and Toxie Hall.

How's that?

 

Greb seemed to have got the better of the series with Tunney from what I've read. The 1st two fights anyway.

 

The only way to get a true indication of how good Greb was is to read the fight reports. He wasn't just beating his opponents, he was beating them up and outclassing them.

Unless the newspapers were all lieing.

 

I'd agree that Greb's resumé is the greatest of all-time.

 

And how many eyes he had:deal

 

A fair bit.

I read that Greb deserved the first two. at work at the mo but can post some quotes when i get in :good

 

i'll have robinson

 

I'd say best resume is between Greb and Langford.

I'd go with Sam.

Greb a close #2

Charles is right up there though, as is Robinson.

 

Charles resume doesnt rely on those names, Grebs best names are Tunney/Gibbons Bros/Norfolk and he didnt win the series against them. Whats more Charles arguably beat valdes/johnson/ray/overlin in fights he lost/drew

Some of those names are way past Charles prime, Greb didnt fight past his prime because he died
