Harry Greb vs Bob Satterfield with modern gloves

Since there was many "vs" thread I thought I would add this one.
Greb, had speed and wouldn't let guys set themselves to punch so it was hard to time him. Satterfield threw bombs not all of them in a set position, he would just throw. Greb would find it hard to keep Satterfield off of him especially with big gloves. My feeling is that Greb would shuck and jive and bounce around but get caught by a bomb. Satterfield wasn't a big HW

 

Ck out the training tape that's on youtube of Harry Greb that will give you an idea. Plus knowing what kind of fighter he was. There are countless descriptions of the way he fought. There's enough out there to form an opinion. But if you are of the opinion, that you cant tell anything from a short clip. Go to a boxing gym and show them the tape and they can give an opinion. Watch any fighter that you know and have seen, watch them shadowbox, that's how they fight. Shadow boxing is really fighting an imaginary rival.

 

Kr apper, LaMotta punched harder then greb ever did. I disagree that Lamotta was a cheap imitation of Greb, lamotta was a warhorse, two very different styles. Greb's Mexican jumping bean style, throwing bunches of arm punches and like Gene Tunney said Greb's punches were so light it felt like he was pulling them and that was with what 5-6 oz gloves. I believe Greb could've won some and Lamotta some but 100 out of a 100 don't think so. Satterfield, as Mc said was a party animal. That was the reason he tended to fade. Lamotta stopped him when, what round? He went how many rds with Rex Layne. Satterfield tended to shoot his bolt cos he threw hail mary punches, and those tend to tire you out quicker plus he didn't train as he should, but if he hit you he could hurt you. The reason I thought of Satterfield was cos he hit and he just threw punches even if he wasn't set to punch. That was Greb's great thing he didn't allow a guy to get set couple with his speed, to beat Greb you have to catch him. My guess is that Greb might have slapped Satterfield around but if by chance Greb caught a shot, well....

 

Stop hidin' posting under two different alts, stop acting cowardly, I can respect somebody's opinion even yours. But I do kind of agree with your assessment.

 

The nitpicker is back, "mediocre skills, glass jaw", Tommy Gomez didn't stop him. Why are we even discussing his "glass jaw", Greb was a arm puncher? Mediocre skills please, stop worshipping at the shrine of Greb and open your eyes. Yes Greb was great but he could get caught. Think about it like this, Satterfield was a homerun puncher, who tended to load up on his punches and when you do that you are open to be countered that coupled with not training as he should, made him more chinny. Rex Layne wasn't horrible and how many rds did his fight go? According to "many alts", thinking Lamotta who stopped Satterfield in 7 was a better puncher then Layne cos he stopped a rd later. Watch "many alts", jump on that.
Neither of the HW's that were mentioned Brennan ,Renault ,Gibbons, and Miske had a style similar to Satterfield or could punch as hard. Probably all four would have stopped Satterfield. Cos of his lack of defense, but Greb would have had a harder time with somebody like Satterfield cos Greb could be hit. Another thing "many alts" forgets is when you talk about Satterfield you are talking power.

 

Mc, Yes you are right I meant Satterfield. I believe Greb could've won some and Satterfield some but 100 out of a 100 don't think so.
A question for you both, who would you say fought and punched as hard as Satterfield, and fought around the 180pd range that Greb fought?
