He is indisputably the earlier fighter, though. No matter what kind of mathematical gymnastics someone tries, there's no conceivable way to contest the fact that Greb was born a long time before Reggie Johnson. Greb crushes Reggie.
Most likely. We badly need footage of Greb to see how he fought, so we can evaluate his chances in fantasy fights
Oh absolutely, there's such a big gap between the two. I have heard, some fighter s that came out of black and white into color, actually suffered a shock to the system. Suddenly seeing the colour of certain shorts and red blood, could bewilder him and have him lose the fight. I belive this happened to Liston. He much preferred the old grainy, black and white affect to the dazzling bright colors of the 1960 s. So yes, it works both ways.
Hogwash! Fighting monochrome opponents forces you to learn to detect subtle shifts in movement, hampered as you are by the limited color palette. And the overplayed black-and-white-to-color transition theory is basically a myth. Judy Garland and the entire cast of the Wizard of Oz made the transition on camera without so much as a flinch, and they were just a bunch of actors, FFS.
Reggie's facing a 70+ year chronological disadvantage, though. That's absolutely massive in a sport like this.
Hey, I'm no expert but I was told the tale of Sonny Liston by a man who knew his great, second cousin s neighbor s doctor.!! So I'm pretty sure that Liston struggled with bright colors!
Judy actually began drinking heavily not long after that film. Maybe black and white to colour not as easy peasy as believed good sir.
That's true. I was overlooking the longer-term health effects of color transition. Not quite as bad as the obesity that the internet streaming transition creates in heavies. But definitely food for thought.
Oh yes, the obesity question. Certainly something for the more learned poster s on here my friend. What a fascinating subject!
