    Who pick [ed] 1919 ? Seamus whom I was talking to.
    You pick Greb of 170/175lbs fine.What's the problem? Personally I think his best weight was middle 160's but I'm not an expert.
    I pick Johnson of Reno 2O8lbs.

    Average post for you ,only 4 mistakes.
    Now be a good boy, and drink your milk.

    Mcvey has a way of picking and choosing the best dates and weights for his agendas. The best play here to to pick Greb at 170-175, and Johnson at 190-210. Weight is not a big issue here, as Johnson had big trouble with super middles, light heavies, and crusier weights.


    Same here. And lets not forget Johnson beat a shell of man man who had not fought in 5+ years. Its easy to look good vs. a washed up X Champion.


    Co-signed!

    You are absolutely right with your first comment , as unintentional as it may be .

    I have picked the best Jack Johnson I can think of, to meet the best Harry Greb anyone cares to pick .
    Should I pick the Johnson who was kod by Bear Cat Wright when he was 53 years old,do you think?
    I am aware logic was never your strong point, but I should have thought even you would see the sense of a poster picking what he considered his pick's prime when selecting him for a head to head match.
    Once again ,I am reminded that no one was ever guilty of being in error ,underestimating your intelligence.:lol:

    I have only been able to find 12 times that Greb scaled 170lbs or over ,[ I am sure Klompton would have more info]
    It's interesting that Greb lost 3 of those fights,and only 1 of them was against a heavyweight, which Greb won, an Al Benedict whose record was 9-25-0
    I would hazard a guess that you will be in a minority of 1, picking Greb at that weight ,but you will be used to that ,won't you?:rofl

    P.S. What weight is a Crusier weight?:huh

    Seamus may welcome support from posters agreeing with his opinions, but I am not at all sure he will be comfortable getting an endorsement from you.:-(
