    I think we already know the answer to this, as it was not an hypothesis. ;)

    Tommy Gibbons stands out at LHW more. At MW I'm not sure how O'Dowd/Wilson do. Maybe Walker overcomes a weak MW champ and looks more dominant and greater than he was

    I'm not sure if Kid Norfolk becomes stronger or weaker by his lack of a Greb around, I think weaker as the other white fighters probably don't fight him. Loughran too probably benefits from historically sharing a ring

    Tiger Flowers isn't remembered as fondly, even if he was robbed against Walker

    Unless he learnt and got allot better from that defeat. Maybe a Tunney without the Greb experience loses to Dempsey

    Also who does Tunney establish himself against? He needs a new top tier dance partner

    The Dempsey fight establishes tunney, regardless of who he beat previously.

    We'd be without the pipe-dream of someday finding some lost footage of him in someone's basement.

    Gene Tunney might have never beaten Dempsey. The experience must have been invaluable.

    Without the Greb wins does Tunney get the Dempsey fight?

    Not unless it's in a plugged in refrigerator.
