    Quarry respectfully you are mistaken. Whitey Bimstein in an interview said "I have No One over Greb'. Nat fleischer who always had Stanley ketchel No1, changed his mind and had Harry Greb as # 1. Quarry tell me what fighter in history at 160 pounds in a 300 bout career could lick these alltime greats, many 15-
    to 40 pounds HEAVIER than [it bears repeating],Gene Tunney, Tommy Gibbons, Jack Dillon, Maxie Rosenbloom, Battling Levinsky, Billy Miske, Gunboat Smith, Bill Brennan, and the great Mickey Walker, Kid Norfolk etc.?
    Tell me Quarry, who could have even ATTEMPTED to fight these bigger men ?
    And oh yes Quarry , in his last 100 or so bouts Greb was completely BLIND in one eye...The answer is NO ONE...Cheers...

    I think people are seeing him for what he is. He does this with EVERYTHING if you have a contrasting opinion. No doubt he'll be creating another alt soon enough.

    I'm willing to dismiss quarry as just a troll now.

    It's a shame because sometimes he seems to know things but a thread like this?

    Arguing greb out of the top 5 is difficult enough but arguing greb out of the top 20?

    'd love to see the 20 fighters greater than greb according to quarry!

    Burt.. are you blind in one eye?.. i am and i know if it is such an hinderence or not. so if you have sight in both eyes how can you comprehend what i am saying.. i have made several 100+ breaks in the game of snooker, played tennis at a fairly high level, competed in triathlon competition at a very high level, fought in unlicensed fights all while blind in my right eye.. i have lost 11% of vision due to being blind in one eye, not 50% like some seem to believe.

    you are a liar and that is a lie.. you made that comment on the other forum and i pinned it to you on this forum. so you came up with the excuse that "yes i said it but i said it without thinking what i had said"... other howlers you have came out with are. "Actually i am independently wealthy and don't need to work"... you said this after i questioned you being on this forum 24/7 :lol:... you must be sitting on your yacht surrounded by brazilian chicks drinking champagne with a laptop on your knee logged-on to this forum :lol:.. the truth is your unemployed living in your mothers spare room without a penny to your name which is why you live on this site 24/7 because you have not got a friend in the world. you sad little maggot :lol:

    hey quarry
    i had jimmy mclarnin say to me and others personally
    i saw greb from ringside he fought with his head tilted sideways
    obviously to accommodate at least 50 percent blindness
    you reckon on your point u and harry shared the same amount of blindness
    it sounds pretty asinine to say the least!!

    i think its you who is babbling.. do you have evidence of the claims of Arcel, Bimstein or me claiming Greb to be 5'6

    you are wrong... Greb was NOT blind in one eye.. i am blind in one eye... Greb had a detached retina not blind "big difference"
