    Would he have become an all time great in America? Or would he have fallen short against the elite of that era?

    He died too early to tell, thus you are very unlikely to get a concensus.

    What if Darcy had not died? What did Tex Ricard think of his chances against America's best, namely Harry Greb? What are your opinions?

    He is already an ATG and has been regarded as such for 90 years,,,,, only a deranged hater puts his own opinion ahead of their contemporaries. I have been reading a posters rants on not just Darcy, but his entire race. As the true one and only greatest of a country with a long history of punching above it's weight....... indeed the greatest of an entire continent, surely that's a good reason for his Legend status.
