    You do know a lot about Greb, and therein lies the problem. You have a pied piper effect on the rest. You could tell them Greb wasn't robbed vs. Tiger Flowers and post a news report, while omitting the others...and they will believe you on this one topic.

    Until you prove to me you own the film ( Which you won't and mentioned int he 11th hour ) you're simply guessing on a still shot.

    Until then your the one scientists claiming it ain't so, while the vast majority who saw it says it is.

    I''ll keep an open mind.

    You asked for names, and I gave them to you. There is the proof. Now, like everything else you omit what you choose in boxing.

    PS: Not all were IBRO members.

    If you made that anti Italian cheaters statement in the work place and someone took offense, you'd be in some trouble. That is what I said and I am correct.

    Only I didnt say Greb was robbed did I?

    You say you gave me names. You gave me three names: Doug, who denied what you said. That leaves two. 1. Mike Silver, who had no evidence to support his dream that it was Greb other than his fertile imagination and even admitted he wasnt aware that the fight was held at night. And 2. Mitch Levin. So thats down to essentially one guy who I havent even called yet but Im sure, as is always the case with you, there is more to the story. You claim I am the only one calling this film into question and yet look at all of the posts on here. You cant find a single one supporting that contention. But like I said, if you want to continue your asinine course by all means put your money where your mouth is and buy a copy of this "Greb film" from Kurt. Wouldnt it be worth it? No. You dont want to put YOUR money where your mouth is? I didnt think so.

    I did make it in my work place you idiot and when someone wants to "get me in trouble" as an Italian for criticising Italians then I will be waiting, but forgive me if I dont hold my breath.

    I wouldn't wipe my **** on the IBRO its a meaningless organization largely consisting of members who think it worth while shelling out a few bucks so they can boast about being members. Any one with the requisite dough and sufficient vanity can join. One of the names you said had seen the film has categorically denied it.
    .I don't care who has seen it I want it verified by title and age before I give it any credence whatsoever.
    The fact that you are all for it is its biggest drawback on this forum!

    Klompton, out of interest... is someone did unearth a verifiable Greb fight say vs Walker or Tunney, maybe the final 3 rounds... would you actually pay 100k for it, do you think it is worth that much?

    It does seem extreme to me but I've never looked into rare footage that much.

    My dad collected loads when I was younger but I never pursued any myself.

    Greb won the first. - Klompton

    LOL, he's the official loser in both fights with Flowers.

    Please explain to me how a fighter officially lost, and in your mind won the fight? Sounds like you think he was robbed.

    He fought three fights with Flowers, Mendoza. And he won the first one clean, by most eyes.

    I was talking about the 15 round matches, not the ND which could have went either way depending on which news paper you read. Greb vs Flowers 1 and 2 to me is the official decision fights.

    Even if you give Greb the nod on the ND there is an interesting foot note.

    The best two black fighters Greb faced were Norfolk and Flowers. Agreed?

    Greb is but 1-3 here...if you give him the ND decision.

    When someone says Greb won the first they probably mean they feel he won the first fight, which most people did, so what's the issue?

    Yes, i know YOU were. But you are trying to produce a post by klompton where he says "Greb won the first" and make THAT about the second fight, which is dishonest/a mistake.

    This is incorrect too.

    He has an ND win over Kid Norfolk also.
