James Figg vs Harry Greb bare knuckles, sword and cudgel

Three rounds........ no time limit. starts with sword... then cudgel then bare knuckles. I tip Figg.

 

Never seen Greb fight so can't comment.

 

What about Figg though?

Is there anything of him on YouTube?

 

LOL if they started bare knuckles and did 15 rounds I would take Greb. Otherwise, Mister Figg all the way.

 

Not sure if you know how big Figg was, that guy was a very big man, not too tall but very thickly built, the other factor is there are no rules so Figg will hip throw Greb to the ground... no rules does not mean Figg had no ettiquette, I don't think he went wrestling on the floor but the throws were meant to break a bone or ligament, headbutts are certain. Greb was rough and tough and I am sure if he was born into that era he may have done well but he wasn't.

With the gloves Greb wore and under MQR Figg will be outpointed though, not doubts about it.

 

:rofl:rofl

 

Yes there is a very rare "video" of Figg taking on the great, great, great grandfather of klump. Wasn't much of a fite more like a b itch slapping. They filmed it in HD, that's how far ahead of their time they were.

 

:huh I seem to recall seeing it. Wasn't it drawn in the form of stick men in the corner of an exercise book, and to watch it you had to flip the pages really fast? Apparently that's how it really went down :boxing2

 

Hands-down best thread in Classic.

 

Only because you haven't seen the Darcy vs Valuev thread that I am planning :deal

 

Oh, haven't I? :hey

 

um ... now I am a little worried.

Time to check my antivirus

:bolt

 

ends with the sword, ko1., literally with the head coming off.

no more fights for grebbie.

 

Well no actually, the sword round was just first blood, so a tendon or something like that, Figg was a brute but not a Roman gladiator you are thinking of lol
