    My apologies for the title. I've no bias against either .If you want to dig a bit deeper you might discover that I am making an oblique reference to Suzie's thread ie Dempsey v Greb 10rounds ,why did he stipulate 10rounds? I know do you?

    I think it's funny how you call Dempsey such an early starter, yet you say he's at a disadvantage in 4 rounders? :lol:

    Which is it? Is he a fast starter or not?

    Just wondering, would Greb have a reach advantage in this one?

    No, why did that thread stipulate 10 rounds mcvey/

    How would Greb have a reach advantage....Even if his hands were free?
    His reach i recall as 71", not near Dempsey's.
    Is this another oblique expressive reference?

    A lot of fancy words in a thread that is essentially taking the ****.

    McVey, Suzie always loads the dice and argues combatively, you might as well point out that a dog barks often. It's pretty harmless. I've solved the puzzle by not reading his posts.

    I think you are confusing the one in the films of the same name. It is easily done both were crude sluggers with limited skills.

    The big difference is, at least the wealthier one and his fans admit he was acting.

    I think Rocky Marciano only had a 69 inch reach, didnt he?

    If so, then yes Greb would ahve the reach advantage.

    Greb could keep you busy for a few rds but could not keep Marciano off him for much longer than that. Marciano by capitation

    Greb beat numerous heavyweights, but none as durable and relentless as rocky.

    At least I bring useful information to this forum at times, no one knows you exist, I've been here 10 years and I have never heard of you

    Remember folks the old adage, "you can't hurt what you can't hit"...
