I hold Tunney in high regard, he was such a great fighter in any era including this one, and for him to lose to Greb and not only him, but ATG puncher Dempsey respected Greb that is all the proof you need. He's being compared to lightweights speedwise, ffs! He was basically Rj before Rj was around, but probably the most highly skilled brawler that ever lived. I'll take Tunney's, Dempsey's, McLarnin's among others word for it than a keyboard warlord's claims weight and size matters and thats why they have weight divisions rant. Tell that to Greb, SRL, Duran, Langford, and other giant slayers.
I'd knock him out flapping his arms around just keeps throwing that telegraphed right hand boxing has come alongway lmao. "Pittsburgh windmill"
there's enough footage of the legends that he beat and enough accounts from those legends, other top fighters of the day who saw him, newspapers, experts of the time etc...to determine without a doubt that Greb was one of the greatest to ever to do it. dumbass kids talking **** because there's no footage of the man....look at who the **** he beat!!! there's plenty of footage of them , I'd imagine he'd have to be pretty damn proflific to accumulate that kind of resume!
Greb went 45-0 in the year 1919 alone which included wins over : Bill Brennan top HW contender............ 4 times Battling Levinsky future LHW Champ.... 4 times Mike Mctigue future LHW Champion ATG MW Mike Gibbons Bill Miske top HW contender Meehan top HW contender Now how pathetic do *****s look
SO by your logic, Harry Greb should not even be in anyone's top 100, because none of us have actually seen him fight? That's beyond ridiculous. -------- Vysotsky. 45 fights in ONE YEAR? Holy cow ......
As odd & silly-looking as this is, folks should note that it's obviously NOT a real sparring session. There's no ring, they have no protective gear on, and they both look over at the camera several times, with smiles on their faces. It was obviously just some quickly thrown-together publicity thing, with them mugging for the camera. They probably weren't even warmed up, which is why they weren't throwing real punches. Sad that this is all the footage we have. It's almost worse than having nothing.
