    Nope that´s not a fantasy fight match. But I re-watched Winky-Soliman recently and somehow I can´t stop thinking that Greb may have looked like Soliman stylewise. Huge punch output without much power. Defence based on lateral movement and footwork, good chin, punches from everywhere that land everywhere. Greb was better at everything obviously but maybe that guy give us some impression how he might have looked :huh

    Interesting observation, could possibly be similar. Awkward angles, pressure, and in unorthodox movement, yea, who knows!!!


    I thought it was a h2h matchup when i saw the thread!

    Nah, that would be a bit disrespectful to Harry. I thought that might help a bit picture him, especially when talking about h2h match-ups.

    Yeah I'd say he would've fought something like that.

    Obviously - as has been said - he would've been much better. But I love Sammy, such a great bloke.

    But honestly, that training footage of Greb literally gets me in tears.

    I'm just playing man.

    Yes I did read it, and thought it was a good comparison to how he might of fought.
