    I know he beat Tunney who would of outweighed him by some distance. Lost the next two and drew the last one.

    Also Dempsey didnt want any piece of him.

    Struggled with his eyesight , but beat the best of his day.

    Shame he died so young 32?

    I was a savage beating of epic proportions
    II was universally regarded as a robbery that Greb also won
    III and IV Tunney won
    V The press were split with about half giving it to Tunney and half Greb

    2-2-1 is probably the most fair result for their 5 contests although you could make an argument for either winning the 5th fight.

    especially ironic since Greb drew no color line and fought guys like HW Norfolk and Flowers (Norfolk was the one who blinded him in 1921 after having gouged his eye in a insanely dirty fight)

    Larry is my bud, but he's clearly stuck on the video of Greb and old Jack O'Brien playing around. Look at his resume and watch video of the people Greb beat and thats all the proof you need as to why he's ranked as high as he is.

    I can't help but laugh at the people saying everyone sucked back then. You guys and your lack of knowledge truly make me laugh!

    larryx is 31 years old with children, is a dead beat wannabe rapper (seriously he tried to get a deal, they turned him down), unemployed, and gets into fits with his "baby momma" on a daily basis

    he even bragged about "doing the deed" with 20 men while in prison.

    do not take any of his posts seriously.

    Newspaper fights, no official scoring.

    Basically its a no decision before either man even steps in the ring, there will be no official winner regardless what happens
