Greb is a legend. He is somebody mentioned in conversations to show boxing history acumen (or at least pretend to). Seriously, these guys were athletes before anything else. TOday, you become a sportsman but will be as much a celebrity as actors and socialites. Boxers would be busy doing endorsements and spending the ridiculous amount of money in between fights. Really, no one would have time to accumulate 100 fights before age 22. It's a totally different scenario from SUgar Ray's time. NO one in modern history will be able to surpass those numbers and we will never be able to compare this generation with the past. It is just not possible.
i never thought about it..... but if you fought over 100 opponents.... that means you probably fougth atleast 40 guys who were like.. C-D level fighters.... ****... probably atleast 50-60... **** 40
when i read the thread the first name into my head was Archies......... My God he was awesome.. Light heavy or heavy he always offered a stiff resolve. Marciano even felt his wrath........
