    Greb as he was could simply never have existed today.

    He was a product of his schedule, and his schedule would be impossible today.

    I can get all the agenda driven sewage I want from Mendoza.

    This will only end in a temper tantrum from you, and having had our youngest grandchild for the day I don't need another.
    Fill your boots!

    He sure would have had to change a few things like fighting within modern rules but this is a weak MW era and his only real competition is GGG, who else could do well against him, problem here is he would not be getting really good fighters to hone his skills so surely would not be as good as he was in his day.

    Actually I wish he was around now, I'd start watching the middleweights again and we would find out what GGG is made of and to see how he'd go when he can't just simply KO a guy with a couple of good shots

    What's on You Tube is Page momentarily dropping Tyson in a sparring session .
    No contest, no referee ,no judges = No Decision ,hence , no tko!

    There is a saying in boxing only "fools lose their temper", that's my cardinal rule, I don't lose my temper, why? What's the point of losing your temper? I don't know you and you don't know me, so nothing is personal, if I knew you or you me, then it'll be different, but for now, like the Mexicans say "tranquillo"
    Your grandchild must know you that's why he gave you problems lol

    There will never be another Fitzsimmons, Walcott, Langford, Greb, or Walker, because the conditions do not exist to create these fighters.

    They literally don’t make them like that anymore!

    Either your humour is very dry or you totally missed the point.
