Wills didnt hold up his end of the agreement? Which was what? All Wills had to do was sign the contract and show up to fight. The problem was that...
This is one of the most ignorant claims Ive ever seen. If Greb wasnt a contender then neither was Brennan, Carpentier, Gibbons, Miske, or Tunney....
Boy I leave for a day and this thread just gets crazier and crazier. You found one article, one that gives one writers opinion as to why Greb...
Dempsey sure threw his buddy Mike Trent under the bus on that one. Trent had been his friend and bodyguard for years and yet when Dempsey was...

Why are you so focused on critics of Greb? There were at least as many vocal critics of Carpentier, Miske, and Gibbons as challengers yet those...
Yes it became very much a game that Dempsey played, playing one challenger off the other, playing a shell game: Im going to fight this guy in May...
Uh, maybe because Greb had beaten two of those three prior to their shots at Dempsey and the third refused to even spar with Greb much less fight...
Correction, you have both read a quote ATTRIBUTED to Greb which was not published until DECADES after his death by someone who may or may not have...
what four hall of famers did he defeat during his career? he defeated Carpentier, Gibbons, and Miske (who is one of the least qualified HOFers...
Like I said, post a source with an actual provenance otherwise its worse than meaningless. I dont care how much weight you put into the quote, if...
