Harry Greb was great

Im watching gen tunney fight now his was a great fighter if tunney is this good and gred destroyed him gred is a ATG.

 

And Harry Greb weighed about 12 pounds less than Gene Tunney , had about 280 fights than the rising Tunney, and was BLIND in ONE EYE !
Just think of a fighter today having 280 bouts against everyone and everywhere ?

 

Greb being an ATG is an understatement. He has a case for being the best there ever was, and is a consensus top 4 pick.

 

That is amazing really.

 

Water is wet.

 

I think he's 15 years old.

 

I can absorb that !

 

i know he may be the best ever but he destroyed tunney thats crazy.

 

I disagree.

 

This...

 

read in a book, I think it was on the great trainers (arcel, futch, brown..etc) and one of them said that it was benny leonard who gave tunney the plan to grab a win from greb, to jab to the body I think his advice was

 

greb is my #1 pick for best there ever was just for the record

 

Yes it was Benny Leonard who told the disconsulate Gene Tunney,"no one is going to hit Harry Greb on the chin, so you have to go to the body ".This advice to Tunney worked a lot, but it most be understood Greb after his terrible beating of Tunney in 1922 was slowing down after 0ver 250 bouts, whilst the 12-15 pound heavier Tunney was morphing into a strong heavyweight...The 1922 Greb would always give Tunney trouble....

 

I don´t think Greb was great. Other greats were greb.

 

You have to greb greatness with two hands and don't let go.
