    "Curveball" :rofl

    I admit burley is that on mine. Think the rest are perfectly reasonable though.

    Wildes wins over Lynch solidify him as a P4P great, regardless of era.

    But no, definitely not top ten (or top 40-50 on my list IIRC), and definitely behind Harada and Jofre.

    Yep, we have him and Toy Bulldog signing the contract, but none of the fight :-(

    In the 14th round Greb landed shots that Micky said 'had me on ***** street for half an hour after the fight'. At one point, Greb was actually stood behind Walker, he had him so bamboozled, according to some reports.

    Greb is what Calzaghe would be if he wasn't featherfisted. ;)

    I just checked; he's bang on no.50. One behind Young Corbett III and one ahead of Bob Foster.

    And a righty ;-)

    Yeah, just clowning around with old friend Phili' Jack. At 0:20, you see the kinda' deft head movement that really shows you what this man was made of.

    Being lefty adds to the all-round willmilling spazzy effect. If Greb was southpaw he'd never have lost. Even though he very rarely lost convincingly anyway.

    ;-) Exactly, the fact he did that without being a lefty is even more testament to his virtuosity.

    Kid Norfolk also looked hard as nails and dangerous, against an admittedly passive opponent :-(
