We must also remember Tommy Gibbons in 1920 was at the height of his career and was a well built LIGHTHEAVYWEIGHT, whilst Harry Greb was a middleweight...Today what top MWs tackle top lightheavyweights ,and TOP HEAVYWEIGHTS, time and time again, fighting about every 2 weeks, never giving your wounds time to heal, or sufficient rest to recharge your batteries...Truly Greb was the most amazing and fearless fighter of all, even with ONE eye for the last years of his 300 fight career...
Arguably, Tommy's greatest performance in the ring. By all accounts, he put a real hurt on Greb. Two months later, Greb won over 10 in a rain soaked affair. And then of course, Greb took the 15 round affair in 1922.
Here's Kid Norfolk remembering Greb ("mean"), Wills, Siki and Gibbons ("best I ever fought"): http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=wKtQAAAAIBAJ&sjid=LiIEAAAAIBAJ&dq=greb norfolk&pg=2266,3327691

"I have demonstrated several times I am Bartfield's master." Damn, dude. It doesn't get more hardcore than that.
Its crazy being able to find **** like that. If you ever pass Al Gore on the street be sure to thanks him for me, the internet is amazing.
