    Crafty, knows when to throw & hold I can't see why he wouldn't be considered old school. Has tricks and knows how to take his opponent's strengths away & make pretty much any fight his kind of way. He is old school imo. Not saying this because I'm a fan of his BTW. Lol, don't even say headbutts because Armstrong threw some too in some fights and he's one of the best inside fighters ever.

    hey now he can go 'duh duh duh i pooped em' on his prayer rug! all those hate speeches didn't do him any good! if joe frazier was here i would give him props for being the real deal! hey the nation of islam probably doesn't even change ali's diapers now. Serves him right

    Agreed. No Greb footage besides him training but I see what you're saying buddy. If I'm not mistaken, I think even Quarry-Frazier had headbutts because their heads were so damn close many times during the fight. BTW, I'm a big fan to Bhop, Ali, Armstrong, SRL, Barrera, Gomez,(list goes on) but they had dirty tactics and I can't ignore that. People need to understand that old school fighters tended to break the rules using their craftiness too but there are exceptions(Ezzard Charles). I may be pushing it but, possibly Erik Morales was crafty. Not in terms of defense but his methods used to win & survive. May be pushing it though lol.

    Love Charles I hope to get his career set really soon, I'm a big fan of his. Now I gotta add some EM on my fights to watch list as I want to study his craftiness more lol. I find it odd no one brings it up though at least I haven't heard it. I'm a fan of EM too he's great to watch. When hurt he fires back and knows how to place his punches well.
