    Wish there was footage of Greb. I heard he was a faster version of Armstrong. I wouldn't be surprised however if his technique was a little crude and ancient.

    I'm surprised that only Chris put Jeff Fenech's name in. He and Graziano at his best are my two additions here.

    You guys need to check out a fighter named Frankie Warren. total Armstrong-ish. Ever see anyone whitewash Buddy McGirt? Check out their first fight. Believe he had to retire from a detached retina. Always liked Frankie.
