    I am going to go with Willard by stoppage. Greb never fought a legit 200 plus pound puncher to my knowledge.

    Willard was unskilled but he could punch and he is going to catch the 5'8 Greb coming in. I don't see Greb surviving.

    Bill Brennan could really whack and Harry beat him 5 times, once almost getting the KO.

    true. I still think its a different proposition when the dude is 6'6 and you are giving up 10 inches in height. You need to get very close to the taller man and that makes you extremely open for his power shots. I think Greb would find it a lot harder, mentally and physically, to get close to Willard than he did vs Brennan, to whom he was only giving up 5 inches in height.

    Willard lost to a few smaller fellas.. Tom McMahon was 175lbs & Gunboat Smith was 180lbs... if they can beat him couldn't Greb?
