Cool Harry Greb Facts for Those Who Don't Know

:goodThat one sparring session is the only footage of him. Btw, this most definitely belongs on the Classic.

 

Iron.

 

160 may just be the greatest division in the history of the sport. :yep

In terms of housing Bad Ass Mother****ers anyway, it's a no-brainer. :deal

 

Definitely matey:

Greb
Ray
Hagler
Hopkins
Burley
Walker
Lamotta
Flowers
Hearns
Leonard
Oscar
Fullmer
Turpin
Olsen

Harddddddd azzez :hat

 

You're intentionally leaving names off that list. :twisted:

 

Well I'll be damned.....Barkley, Duran, Toney, Jones Jr.

Wild animals they were :bbb



I still prefer welter :smoke

 

:ban



Yeah, me too on some days. The same guy is #1 in both. :smoke

 

On a serious note other than Monzon obviously, Tiger, Williams, Fitz and Ketchel were woefully missing from that run down. In terms of badasses, Valdez and Briscoe would certainly be there too.

 

Obvi, but I was just listing them as quickly as I could before CM in order for you to take notice


Greb would never lose to Lamotta, Turpin nor Fullmer. Smarten up :nono

 

You and all your would, could and should. :-(

Robinson has the quality and depth to make a very strong case, and you've admitted this yourself. :deal

 

A strong #2 case for sure. Him and Hags are right up there for that one.

 

Har har har.

Tell you what though, the way Ray went about making himself the #1 contender for a shot at the crown was legendary. When he really got serious about campaigning as a Middleweight full time, he ripped through 60% of the division's top contenders in short order.

08/49: Steve Belloise W-TKO7
05/50: Ray Barnes W-UD10
06/50: Robert Villemain W-UD15
08/50: Jose Basora W-KO1
10/50: Joe Rindone W-TKO6
10/50: Carl Olson W-KO12
12/50: Robert Villemain W-TKO9

The showing in Europe was dazzling as **** too, a lot of those on film. No carrying. :deal

 

Reportedly eight fights, but the 2nd with tunney was definaly filed along with a dave shade fight on the same undercard

 

Lamota was SMW, and robbinson welter, imagin greb going against, charles, moore, bivins, johnson, maxim ect.

 

For all the hoo-hah about Robinson's 147 prime, he actually leveled or stopped more, better opposition fighting as a Middleweight. Not to be confused with WW Robinson fighting middleweights, as he did through the 1940s. I mean, when he was comfortably coming in weighing at the 154-160 range. His power... Good reason to believe it went up as he did in weight based on the results against rated opposition. Everything else may of dropped though.
