    You can't just skim over his record yourself and realize its probably the most impressive in the sport's history?

    Apparently, it was all luck and coincidence that he beat 18 title holders in an era of EIGHT single divisions. OK, good enough explanation for me.

    Don't even need to skim the record, just look at his run in 1919

    are you going to appologize now for telling lies when claiming Greb was "Blind in one eye" and now back-track claiming "little to no vision"

    your known as a notorious liar. i had a debate similar to this on the other forum with you when you claimed Ray Robinson was not in the same league as Greb, i supplied dozens of links as evidence and you trashed every single link. you done the same when i claimed Gene Tunney mastered Greb, i showed proof and you trashed it yet expect everyone to accept your opinions as "Carved in Stone Fact" :huh

    Carefully read paragraphs 2 and 3. Are you trying to say he wasn't blind? You've been getting your ass handed to you this whole debate and are in total denial without a shred of proof for any of your accusations. You're the forum kickball and a laughingstock!! :lol:

    Second chapter, paragraph 4

    I could find dozens and dozens of articles stating Greb's blindness all night long.

    yes and i am saying others have done just that. as for the blind in one eye" you are dramatising and have no conclusive evidence that Greb suffered anything other than a detatched retina.. Joe Frazier was blind in one eye almost throughout his championship years.

    ok Mr Teacher :lol: but who is doing the educating here? not anyone i have read posts by and certainly not you. What you are forgetting and do not understand in your attempt to "Down play" the achievements of Toney & Hearns (i will leave Pacquiao out for now) is that Greb fought in the old timer era of the sport and those who are on his record as IBHOF fighters are in the Old Timer section. not the modern day section. but your trying to imply that one is greater than the other. James Toney beats everyone Greb beat... does Greb beat everyone James Toney beat?

    you must be tired my friend, it is 2.00 pm and your still sitting waiting to reply to my every posts :lol:.. i have been in bed the last 9hrs with my wife while you have been sat on this forum looking for a little friend to chit-chat with you :lol: oh you sad sad little man. i bet your little eyes lite-up when you seen me log-on, i bet you thought "here is Quarry my hero, if only i was big and strong like Quarry and had the ability to debate like Quarry does. instead of me being a lonely little midget with no friends, no wife and no job" then your mind wanders back to your other hero Tommy Morrison who you claim is up there with the All Time Greats of this sport and who you like to refer to as "The Duke"... you need to grow up JAB act like a man instead of a mouse, get yourself a wife because no-one will mind if she is fat, ugly and under 5'2 like yourself. then you both can have a little quality in your life instead of you being sat up in your mothers spare room on this forum 24/7 trying to find a friend and knowing nothing about the sport of boxing :good

    Yes, but he isn't a real man and cannot admit when he is wrong let alone completely out of his depth.
