    The proposition of Greb beating Evander is also def. stretching the friendship. :D

    Forget Floyd, this little guy is the P4P King of all time though he did bite off a little more than he could chew on this occasion.

    Still, there was absolutely NO quit in the little guy: -

    Don't recall making that contention. Not saying I didn't. I've been on here for 50 years or so.

    Could you kindly guide me to said thread so that I can bask in my own genius?

    Nah you look back over your own handiwork. My IQ is low enough as it is without putting myself through that.

    Found it. I said it was not a stretch to think he could contend with the Holyfield who was having cardiac failure in the ring against Moorer. Surely, that's not the worst thing I have stated. You can do better than that.

    I thought it was pretty odd when your whole schtick is to belittle Marciano for his lack of size and crudeness yet give an even smaller, more archaic, more clumsy (at least from the training footage we have) a legitimate chance against a far bigger, more modern atg in Holyfield (even that Holyfield under duress floored and came close to beating an again far bigger and more powerful than Greb Michael Moorer).

    But I suppose little Floyd beats Marciano now so at least you’re consistent even if illogical.

    :lol:

    Yep, it was all rough for old mate HB but that last loud kick was particularly brutal.

    Although, the elephant didn’t bend it like Becks, he obliterated it.

    More training required.

    About time Bing was brought up to put this thread onto a more even keel.

    The obvious asterisk is if it happens in eight rounds or not or can Floyd outspend Rocky for that time frame ...

    Asking for a lawyer friend, who is just curious, in a professional way, after I mentioned this Fantasy Matchup to him: Does Floyd Mayweather have to sign any carefully worded waivers before Rocky Marciano fights him in the ring?

    Greb beat bigger dudes with impunity. Bob Brennan got his ass whipped 5 times. He whipped up on Gilbert Rojas. Loughran, Delaney, Norfolk, Roper, Weinert, Madden, Renault, Gunboat Smith, Meehan, Miske... even Dempsey in sparring. He was not your normal, everyday run of the mill middleweight.

    We don’t know that. No one has seen him fight.

    I doubt any of those listed are even remotely competitive with even the Moorer 1 version of Holyfield the same as Greb wouldn’t be. He’d be swatted much like FMJ would against Marciano.
