    These 3 fighters are historically viewed as the greatest. I am not asking who you view as the greatest among them, my question is who beats who here in your opinion and why?

    SRR/Greb
    Langford/SRR
    Greb/Langford

    Robinson beats both greb and Langford there isn't footage of Sam and greb for me to make a clear judgment h2h and we have good footage of Robinson even though its not when he was at his best the 1951-1952
    Robinson still had his speed, reflexes an excellent stamina I think he would outbox them with relative ease but I could be totally wrong and they might have an awkward style the messes Robinson up
    Langford vs greb going by only what I've heard and read of these to great fighters this would be an action packed fight, that wold be down to who wants it more
    it ashame we don't have footage of these two it would help alot

    At 160lbs I would take Greb to win all three,in a series he could drop decisions to both.Sam v SRR is problematic Sam was best at LHVy imo and SRR at welter.

    I am sure my question, being as unspecific to weight classes as it is, comes across like I only heard about these guys yesterday. Although 2 years ago I had never heard the names Harry Greb or Sam Langford so….

    I wouldn't ask so many dumb questions if the search function on this forum worked.(is this the case for everyone?)
    I am sure this thread or similar has been done a thousand times already.

    We all learn here.I've made the cardinal mistake of debating with a blinkered fool for several pages on another thread I made , I learned nothing about boxing, but quite a bit about the depths of human stupidity.
