    He would KO Wladimir.

    Boxing has clearly regressed in terms of technique.

    Black and white era fighters are clearly superior.

    Going out on a limb and suggesting due to his record, maybe?

    That and the fact that he beat a lot of people that we have seen in action. And since some of those fighters were pretty good, it's safe to say that Greb probably wasn't too bad in his own right. :deal

    :lol::lol::lol: Good Post man.

    I never even watched this Henry Greb, I only heard rumors of this guy's legendary powers. I finally watched some footage and I laughed out loud for 3 minutes.
    :lol:

    Not this **** again,there might not be footage of him but theres footage of fighters he beat like Tunney,Loughran or Walker all hall of fame guys and you can see how good those guys are and from that it gives you an idea about how good Greb was not only that but his record is way too stacked with wins over greats of the day and many hall of famers, That record leaves no doubts that Greb was one of the best fighters in the history of the sport.

    Accomplishments. Beat more then a few ATGs, and a future heavyweight champ.

    Ability is subjective. Resume not so much.

    Boxing has regressed but not that long ago 70's and 80's fighters were just as good as fighters in the black and white era imo

    this looks like a playful sparring session or something. to base grebs skill on this is as laughable as you are for reposting it. The man's achievements are well documented. Now, drink some warm milk, put on your jammies and go to bed!
