    The Pittsburgh Windmill Harry Greb Vs Violence Personified Billy Papke..

    Who takes this one? 15 rounds, both at there peak. Does grebs work rate take billy out? Can Billy Papke make this fight too brutal for Greb?

    Papke laid one of the great Stanley Ketchel's few losses upon him. But I think Greb outworks him.

    If you put a gun to my head, I would go for Greb's work rate and slipperiness, but Papke might well hold a win over him if they were contemporary.

    You have to favor Greb, but if Papke in in shape and well trained, he has a shot. I say this because Papke didn't always train hard. There is a semi rare film of Pakpke working out. I hear he looks good.
