    Yeah, but you've inferred there are multiple sources.

    I've inferred that you have one article about Greb at heavweight.

    Am I right or wrong? If you have more than on articles, or articles relating to him as a puncher at Middle, i'd love to see.

    This.

    To boil it down to its essence, Gene Tunney, Mickey Walker, Tommy Loughran and Maxie Rosenbloom- World Champs from middleweight to heavyweight and Hall of Famers all- have each called Harry Greb the greatest fighter they ever faced.

    Thanks for two replies :p

    I have no idea what the above is meant to mean (I would have said "infer" but it seems to have really confused you the last time :p)

    makes no difference what weight. added weight dont make you punch any harder and you cannot put muscle on your chin.. like i said as an example take James Toney and his punch at heavyweight compared to his punch at 160lb or his chin at heavyweight compared to his chin at 160lbs.. no difference.. yet your now trying to imply Greb was a murderous puncher at 160lb but not at heavyweight
