    This doesn't bother me at all. SRR was a GREAT fighter. Arguably the greatest.But for my money he isn't better than Greb. If there were footage of Greb Im sure he would be ranked higher, but it is what it is. He still has the better resume.

    there IS footage of Greb sparring and he dont look like a guy who could stand up to Ray Robinson the KO King. you are entitled to your opinion in that Greb is better than Robinson yet not one single Boxing Historian have i ever read who goes along with you. Most of the fighters Greb beat who are in the IBHOF are in there because there is no other fighters to add to the Hall from the 1920s period. whereas Ray Robinson fought in the greatest era of boxing with the deepest talent of any era competing at that time and his resume is better than Greb's

    Lmao!!! So Both Gibbons brothers, Norfolk, O'Brien, Rosenbloom, Tunney, Delaney, Dillon, Flowers, Levinski, Loughran and Miske aren't worthy? :rofl

    And I hate to break it to you, but Ray couldn't win the lightheavyweight title from Joey Maxim let alone beat Gene Tunney or the other great light heavies Greb dominated. :patsch

    I got a fight report from the great Ted Spoon. Or do you question his sources?
    Walcott won the first 5 rounds before tiring in the 6th. In my own opinion, walcott was nowhere near his prime in 1940.

    No, I don't question any sources.
    I'm just asking if you can share the report. It's one I'm interested in. :good
