    Nate Liff did.

    He was a fighter from Pittsburgh who also worked corners. He worked Greb's corner and saw Burley fight many times in the ring and gym as well. Liff favored Greb to beat Burley.

    Yeah I have all the year end rankings in a big excel database so I just need to search a name in that to see if they were ranked, I then highlight those who broke the top 5 around the time of the fight and further highlight those who were hof and or best in the world at some point.

    Plus I only count losses within a fighter's prime years.

    :goodThanks much! In Pittsburgh, there surely weren't any shortage of witnesses to both in action who compared them, but it's good to have a specific name documented in connection with this.
