    Greb
    Ray had trouble against guys like Basillio,LaMotta & Fullmer.
    Greb is a much better preassure fighter than these men according to prominent ring historians.

    Could someone show me some footage of Greb? I just want to see how good of a pressure fighter he was. I have seen Tunney, but I just did not see how Greb dealt with Tunney. I have only read about it. If someone could show me something like this, I would have a much easier time determining how they would match up head to head.

    I can compare their records at this time. I just can't do an accurate style comparison.

    the humor is in your opinion and the rest of the people who say greb would take robinson.

    i know people here have different opinions but maybe you should check this video. theirs no way greb would beat robinson.

    I'm really impressed by greb's record. maybe greb can beat robinson by points. but greb's punching power is not really impressive. (48 KO's). and im not done. according to boxrec...greb's reach is 74, robinson's reach is 72, impressive record. but i would like to see more of greb in footage. hopefully someone who has clips of him should upload it. but in the meantime. i would still go for robinson.

    There is some training footage of Greb, but no fight footage is known to exist, at least the last time I looked. Fight footage of this guy is the holy grail of boxing. I'm withholding comment until I see some fight footage.

    SRR beat Lamotta one of the premier pressure fighters of all time ,multiple times, I dont see your argument,plus kos over Fullmer,a win over Basilio,both when past his prime.

    Greb was stronger and more relentless than LaMotta, as for Fullmer and Basilio, they are light years behind Greb as pressure fighters.

    Im not comparing anyone to Greb ,he was by all accounts singular ,my argument is that Robinson wasnt weak against pressure fighters,Greb may well have beaten Ray.

    I would favour Greb via decision he was meant to be extremely quick I can't remember who it was but they described as being faster then Benny Leonard. Either way I see it being real close with Robinson have the greater power I think this would probably have to be the best out of three.

    You got to beleive that a video of Greb boxing and training would be equally breath-taking, no?

    However, I would pick a peak SRR to beat Greb. Why not? Each will be the best fighter the other has faced and if it's at 160 then the size advantage Greb has will be no bigger than the size advangtage most guys had over Sugar at middle.

    I pick Sugar to fight a smart fight and win on points.

    As to a series...can't say. But on fight night in their first duel, i'd be picking a Sugar win.
