    Take a look how both Benny Leonard and Harry Greb fared during 1919. It is true that Willie Ritchie may have had an edge in the first bout with Leonard, but keep in mind that the bout was scheduled for only four rounds in Ritchie's hometown.

    If I recall correctly from my past readings, Nat Fleischer said he was the best, ever. 'Nuff said.
