    While he’s pretty much rated at 160 where does he rate all time at 175 . he beat an all time great n Tunney and fought him tooth and nail at least two other times. He beat an exceptional Gibbons and Loughran. He multiple times went life and death w Norfolk. He has to be top ten for sure.

    Maybe all-time top 11-15, the 175-pound division is packed with talent. Even the old-time historians who are quick to criticize modern boxers grudgingly admit this light heavyweight division is pretty good, with perhaps the best prospects of any division on the way up.

    Greb was too small and didn't hit hard enough to beat the very best from 2000-present @175 lbs, as most of them were heavyweights in his day weighing about what Jack Dempsey did on fight night

    I think Charles would be tough, but the "WILDEST TIGER" could fight with any lightheavyweight. I agree also about one thing since before day wayins, where do you rate fighters. Like canelo could not truly be ranked at light middleweight cause he never was one.
