Ggreb or Tunney?

greb p4p

 

Well before Tunney grew into a heavyweight, the series was tied 2-2 both men fighting under 175lb. Greb gave up at least 10lb to tunney each time but beat him twice out of 5 oppertunities

 

Greb was the greater fighter.

 

I thought Greb only won one fight. I know some of the news accounts varied, though. Wasn't the Philly fight really close? I don't have my references next to me.

 

Two of Tunney's wins were very close, but Tunney is considered to have won the series 3-1-1 (including newspaper decisions). In their final fight, Tunney whupped him very decisively.

 

It comes down to this:

First fight is a decisive win for Greb.

Second fight the media is split but most papers favour Greb.

Third fight is a decisive win for Tunney.

Fourth fight the media is split prety much 50/50 give or take.

Fifth fight is a decisive win for Tunney.

So depending on whether you acept the weight of media opinion regarding the second fight the final score is either:

One for Greb, two for Tunney with two uncertain.

or

Two for Greb two for Tunney with one uncertain.

 

That is nothing compared to the shape he was in after the fight.

 

that was quick janitor taht made me laugh

 

Don't understand how/why he would show up in bad shape for a fight he wasn't even expected to win in good shape... :huh

 

Greb. Don't have to put too much thought into it either.

 

Head-to-head history tends to suggest that Tunney shaded Greb, though the decisive hiding Greb dished out in the first match is significant to the argument.

Pound for pound it's certainly Greb before Tunney.

 

Greb.
