"No" really doesn't explain a lot. Dig in and tell me WHY they're not some of the greatest fighters in their weight classes.
In the second fight, Greb was repeatedly warned for low blows. This may have cost him rounds and explained, in part, the outrage at the result. But looking closely does uncover reports by the Chicago Tribune, which claims a draw as the fairest resut, and the United News, which opined that the "worst Greb was entitled to was a draw". The New York Tribune did a surey of ringside reporters who had it 4-5-4. Hype Igoe wrote in The New York World that "Greb's unsportsmanlike tactic probably went a long way toward bringing the title back to Gene Tunney...Discounting Greb's rough-housing, his eternal clinching, the butting and holding, the clear work, straight hitting and honest fighting was done by Tunney." I'll be honest with you; I think Greb won the second fight. But there is no film. When there is no film, if there are enough newspaper reports in support of the offical decision I get nervous, as a huge Greb fan that doesn't care much for Tunney, about questioning the decision to broadly. I certainly can't throw it out, like you have.
:good One of my friends appears to have one of the most complete boxing collection you can imagine. I will try to get footages of the number one all time great boxer in my book.
There is no footage of this mythical God. There is however a limited amount of footage on his opponents. And they all look like ****, in my opinion. They all move like Charlie Chaplin. His opposition i dont consider the best ever because of this visual evidence we have on them, they wouldnt cut it in the modern era, in my opinion, so they're not the best fighters of all time, in my opinion.
