    The man is entitled his opinion no matter what you think of it. Is it any less "disrespectful" to start trolling a thread and throwing around brave internet threats about you're featherweight friends against a guy you know nothing about? Larry's opinion on this matter is WAY off base. So if you don't like it provide examples as to why he's wrong or simply ignore him. The internet tough guy thing just isn't playing though.

    I understand that you have to admire the mans incredible resume, but personally i think it is ridiculous the rank a fighter that you have never seen the the best ever.

    I hear that from a lot of people and that's fine, but it doesn't change the facts about who he beat and what has been said by people he fought and who actually did see him. Think about it, if he could beat Tunney and all the other greats he beat than the guy could obviously fight and wasn't anything like what we saw of him joking around with O'Brien in that short clip. We don't need to see film of George Washington to know he was a great general, right?

    Greb has a lower KO ratio than Sven Ottke.
    Despire having 3 more rounds, and thinner gloves.

    Overrated gay.

    yeah, we have footage of Walker and Tunney etc windmilling and looking very amateurish. Boxing has advanced just like every other sport has advanced, I'm not sure why boxing fans are the only fans who are reluctant to acknowledge this. Maybe because it's not as measurable.

    The word your gonna here the most of after this post is probably `resume`

    I`m kinda in agreement with you here, I cannot rank a man with no film footage over all the best fighters I`ve ever seen on film, its just not right for me personally.

    However, his record (resume to these guys) tells us he surely must be amongst the best to ever do it... what I tend to do tho is leave guys like Greb, Langford, Gans etc. off of my p4p lists, I don`t include them at all, I usually state that my list is of fighters I`ve seen decent footage of, I won`t disrespect Greb & co by placing them low on my list or any **** like that, I`ll just leave them off completely.

    And looking amateurish :rofl:rofl

    That is the same dude that acts as if Duran would be a journeyman if he was fighting today and thinks MAB is the 122 pound fighter ever.

    Some people need to get a clue before posting ****.
