    In this scenario, Greb beats (and that is not a variable)

    Jake LaMotta
    Randolph Turpin
    Bob Olson
    Rocky Graziano
    Gene Fulmer
    Carmen Basilio
    Paul Pender
    Joey Giardello
    Sugar Ray Robinson

    Where do these wins rank out all of his existing collection?

    I'd say that Robinson ranks as number 1, it at least 2.
    I'd put LaMotta above guys like Tiger Flowers and on par with Norfolk and Bartfield
    Turpin, Olson, Pender and Graziano wouldn't make the top 10, for me anyway.
    Basilio and Fulmer would be good wins, and if they cracked the top 10 they'd be like 9/10, so not near the top really.
    I'd say Giardello is worthy of being higher than them. Maybe 7/8



    My top 10 (based of my pfp top 50)

    1. Sugar Ray Robinson
    2. Tommy Loughran
    3. Mickey Walker
    4. Maxie Rosenbloom
    5. Gene Tunney
    6. Kid Norfolk
    7. Joey Giardello
    8. Jake LaMotta
    9. Soldier Bartfield
    10. Tommy Gibbons

    Welcome back!

    I'd rank the Robinson win right under the Tunney win as Greb's second best win. It'd go something like

    1. Tunney
    2. Robinson
    3. Walker
    4. Loughran
    5. LaMotta
    6. Tommy Gibbons
    7. Rosenbloom
    8. Fullmer
    9. Mike Gibbons
    10. Jack Dillon

    Flowers just barely didn't make the list

    Cheers man! I'd probably have the same top 2, but I just used my own pfp rankings

    The difference for me was that Tunney was a light heavyweight and Robinson was a welterweight, but Robinson def >>> p4p

    That was how I saw it. Same with having Tunney over Walker, but that wasn't how my list had it
