    I pretty much agree with you - but what i'm interested in here is how these two compare to Greb's other competition, rather than Greb himself.

    Thoughts?

    Harry Greb was a Jewish monster. One of the greatest ever to lace'em up. Top 10 pound for pound of all time.

    1) Robinson
    2) Armstrong
    3) Greb
    4) Langford
    5) Charles

    These five I feel firm on. The next five are more fluid.

    6) Ali
    7) Louis
    8) Pep
    9) Duran
    10) B. Leonard

    #1 of fighters not on film. Greb was a very active, durable and fast type, with a tricky type of defense to time. I think he threw lots of punches from all angles, but wonder how he would do vs power hitters his weight as his own power was limited. I think Greb was confirmed to have been filmed 6 times.

    Harry Greb was a Roman Catholic, not a Jew.
