    No 165-pound fighter is beating Liston.

    I seriously doubt Greb would be stupid enough to get in the ring with Liston

    100%...

    though there was a thread posted here a few years back which had Greb beating nearly every Heavyweight you could think of.

    He might make him look like a statue for a couple of rounds.

    He might have been a tough MF but I doubt he had a death wish.

    Guys, sometimes you simply can’t overcome physics. This is one of those times, I don’t care how stupendously great Greb was.

    I can't believe this is a question. I'll let the late great George Foreman answer the question for me in the video below. Greb would be totally ****ed. When George Foreman says he is the scariest/strongest man he ever fought, I'll believe him.

    Too big & strong .. H2H hed be too much for Greb who wasn't even a big MW.. but what's it really demonstrate anyway? Greb is a far greater overall fighter.. Listons resume is pish in comparison & he was mostly the bigger man.. quite the opposite for Greb.
