Harry Greb was voted top All-Time Middleweight on Monte Cox's website "Cox's Corner"

"The fastest fighter I ever saw"
Jack Dempsey said of Greb. That is amazing since Dempsey had seen a lot of the blindingly fast Benny Leonard!

Jimmy McLarnin, one of boxing's best, Who during his career beat 13 lineal champions and won the Welterweight Championship of the World once told an admirer,"If you thought I was great, you should have seen Harry Greb."


This is not intended as a personal attack but a simple statement of fact.
If you are looking for facts I have provided quite a few. If these don't fit your perception of reality feel free to ignore them, your opinions are your own and far be it from me to attempt to convince you of anything if the facts alone will not do it. If, in the face of this overwhelming evidence, you do NOT rate Harry Greb at or near the top of the all time middleweights then it says a lot more about you, sir, than Mr. Greb. And if you find reason to ignore the opinions of others who are scholars, historians, boxers and trainers of professional boxers why, exactly, should we trust or value your opinions on the fighters you do see film of? Are you a professional sports journalist specializing in boxing? It would appear from what you have written that you are not a journalist. Are you, sir, a highly skilled boxer or trainer? Is your profession one having to do with boxing so that you have vast amounts of personal experience? From what perspective can you argue that your ideas and opinions about a fighter you admittedly have never seen should outweigh the record and eye witness accounts of people (whose profession was boxing related) regarding this man?

"Boxing is every day in every way getting better all the time."
Is obviously incorrect.

and

"I haven't seen film of him, so he can't be rated highly." isn't a very convincing line...

 

go look on the Dempsey thread where you do it with every link anyone posts

 

so has manny pacquiao. so has james toney. so has thomas hearns.

 

Actually, the speedbag's been around for ages. Fitzsimmons and Attell talk about how people train stupidly using the things in their boxing manuals.

 

i am calling you a liar also..if you want proof go look in that dempsey thread where you trashed every single link or go look in the tunney thread where you trashed every link... your a bigger liar that tom pepper

 

take a look at this ranking list compared to yours... that ESB list is pure garbage and your little essay their is also laughable.
