    You can choose one fighter in history. You get every single one of their pro fights, filmed with modern camera footage.

    Who would you pick?

    If you don't pick Greb, you may never see him.

    If you do pick Greb, you see all his fights in glorious HD, with super slow mo replays.

    he must be the smart pick.

    But then you also could choose Jack Johnson, or Jeffries, or John L, or Jack Dempsey!

    I was going to say Greb, but I am changing mine to Robinson.

    I would love to see the footage of the fights where he would fight anyone in the house.

    Jack Klinchko Johnson? Nah.
    If Greb was as physically extreme as they say (his greatness is undisputed) he is the obvious pick.
    There's already some fight footage of Dempsey; there is none of Greb.

    Many good ones up there, either Young Griffo or Les Darcy, it's too hard to choose one. I want to see if Griffo was indeed unhittable but would love to see HD colour footage of every Darcy fight...... Others are Langford, Fitz, Greb, Britton and Tommy Ryan in no particular order. It's a hard hard choice, if you get Greb not only do you get Greb but every guy he ever fought and same goes for all the others, how good would it be to have every Griffo fight, you get to see other legends like Jack McAuliffe, george Dixon and a young and prime Gans and Kid Lavigne.... but as so many here think Darcy was a third rater I would go for him to prove the haters wrong.

    The resume would not count near as much as seeing him in real time and blasting guys all over the joint, in the end seeing fighters is the best way.
