    Harry Greb,takes the honors--
    Gene Tunney,Tommy Loughran, Mickey Walker, Tommy Gibbons, Mike Gibbons,Jack
    Dillon, Battling Levinsky, Maxie Rosenbloom, Tiger Flowers, Battling Norfolk,etc,all
    Hall of Famers, all who he licked...And Bill Brennan, Gunboat Smith,Willie Meehan, and a slew of other bigger names who he defeated almost weekly...Not bad for a 160 pound

    J, I beg to differ , but Harry Greb,two years before his death,and beginning to fade beat Tiger Flowers,Aug.21, 1924 in Ohio.This is an undisputed fact.
    Look it up J. Greb even at that time was battle weary with about 250 fights
    by that time...Two years down the road he still lost two very controversial decisions to the unorthodox southpaw, Tiger Flowers...

    I've no problem with you picking Johnson ,but just a couple of points.
    Fitz was 44. Jeffries 34.Langford had 50 fights when he met Johnson, which was more than Johnson actually.
    Carry on , should be an interesting thread.:good


    J J Jeffries? Corbett 36, Fitz 39,Jackson 37.

    Marciano? Walcott 38 /9 Charles 33/34 Moore 39 /42, Louis 36.

    Yeah, it's funny, he can boast that he's the only heavyweight in history to beat both Holmes and Lewis.
