    Greb wins this on work rate,durabilty,and SPEED.Tiger was a monster 160pounder,but Greb had a top chin and could go allnight he had inhuman stamina,only Armstrong came close.
    Greb by dec.

    Tiger is the man but I've got to give Greb a small edge here. He did everything Richard did and more.

    I haven't seen Greb unfortunately (joke).

    **** knows, i'll just say Greb because his resume is ridiculous.

    Ill have to say Greb...I know no one has seen any film of him but judging from the film of the some of the guys he beat, he must have been some fighter.

    His very solid body of work at 175 leads me to believe he will be able to just outdo Tiger in the trenches and not allow Dick to have his way with him.

    Greb wins it 8-7.

    Tiger is a great fighter but there are only a few ways to beat Greb and counterpunching him is not one of them.

    He is going to let Greb rack up points before he realises that he simply has to shift his game plan and by then it is probably too late.

    I say Tiger by decision. Would be a war but I know how good Tiger actually is.

    Would be a real battle; Tiger by Wide Decision for doing cleaner work.

    Could you imagine anybody winning a "wide" decision over Harry Greb?

    It's no secret that I don't rate older fighters, especially those I haven't seen fight.

    I don't believe Tiger possessed the footwork and generalship to force Greb to slow down his work rate and try to find him with shots. Also, Tiger would be right there within range all night as that was where he loved to operate.

    Greb UD.

    This basically boils it down. We haven't seen Greb, but off the reports he would probably be too busy and too fast with his hands and feet for Tiger.
