    Duran KO's him Davey Moore style. It's a no contest!

    Manny Pacquiao vs Sugar Ray Robinson.

    Duran has no hope of intimidating Greb as he got inside SRL's head before Montreal. Harry was utterly fearless. Additionally, Greb could take it downstairs, and typically had to. He could move in and out for 15 rounds, and finish strongly. Roberto is not matching hand and foot speed here. It's like Harry declared before Walker. Duran couldn't knock him out, and Greb would not try to knock El Cholo out. There would be no question in anybody's mind about who the winner was after 15. Even the Panamanian press would have declared Harry the victor here.

    The fight doesn't come off. Pacquiao claims he is allergic to boxing.

    More likely, the italian mafia threaten to send his wife's head back to phillipines in a box, in true italian fashion

    Greb has been dead for a long time now, that should even the odds out a bit.

    Italian? Keep embarrassing yourself kid.

    Sicilian mafia, get it right, and let your Duran obsession die now.

    But Duran was not great at 160lbs.

    He was great at 135lbs and even at 147lbs, but he is going to come up short against the best 160 pounders.

    Surely the fact that neither you or anyone else on here has ever seen Greb actually fight, should factor into the equation? Or at the very least not lead you to the conclusion that Greb is the definate victor here? And dont forget Iran Barkley

    That brings up something I've wondered about from time to time. While the assumption may safely be made that nobody here ever saw him fight live, perhaps there are still some around who have seen movie house newsreel footage of Harry in competition, just as there are those who have seen silent film performances which are now considered to be "lost."
