    It wasn't that Tunney was getting bigger, it was Grebs said he just gets better and better.

    And Grebs would have won absolutly no fight against a modern fighter.

    In the first round, he'd start getting drity with lacing, elbows, back fist and so on. He'd be DQ inthe 2 or 4th round for head butting Holy, punching Gollada in the nuts and bitting off Tyson's ear.

    In a time of dirty fighters the King was Greb.

    Tunney spent a week in bed after the first Greb fight.Loughran said Greb had inhuman stamina,"he started fast and just got faster".I think Greb has to make anyone's top 5 P4P. I really can't split him and Langford for the top spot.

    While Greb was a dirty ba5tard he could fight clean if he wanted too.

    It was relativley late in his career that he became the foul Pitsburger.
