    This is 'the best ever' vs 'the greatest ever'.

    Greb was noted for being incredibly quick on his feet. He would need to be given Jones reflexes, speed and power.

    This is rather juvenile don't you think?

    We are looking at a modern fighter who had undeniable gifts,and matching him with an early ATG whom ,NONE of us has seen in ring action.
    Grebs's resume is probably the greatest of all time '
    You have something to offer this forum,don't waste it in silly tit for tats.:good

    No, its a slow saturday and i love highlighting morons like you who follow me around by my coattails. After all of the pms youve sent me begging for fight footage its pretty immature for you to start attacking me because i dont have any interest in selling. Does it make you feel better? Like youve hurt me? Lol. "Oh please, dont say such hurtful things to me mr anonymous internet user" lol! Or maybe you thought that i would suddenly say: "ill give you all the footage you want if you stop talking bad about me." Lol. Uhh no. In reality it takes me about two minutes to reply to dip****s like you and greg. Unlike you two knuckle dragging mouth breathers i can type fast and dont need a dictionary to formulate an intelligent sentence.

    My prediction for this fight is that Jones ducks Greb like he did every other threatening opponent this side of Toneys lazy ass and then blames Greb for the fight not coming off. Hed then finally agree to fight Greb 10 years later when the fight didnt mean anything and would get shockingly and brutally knocked out by the light hitting Greb because he has a jaw of fine china and never learned the first thing about basic boxing fundamentals. Thats just my pick though. Id even spot Roid all the steroids he could injest and still pick Greb.

    Can't speak for Gregory but I have never written a review on your book, ever..... if someone wrote a review you didn't like that's your problem and up to you to counter any claims they made about your book. So this is your paranoia speaking.. oh a bad review it must have been Greg Luland cos he's the only one that hates me.... hilarious.

    Nah I just hate your guts for all the lies you spread about me and others that you don't like as in Gregory Speciale who incidentally could actually smash your head in... why don't you go visit him and see how long you last.

    And you wonder why I hate your guts. I am glad you said this because now everyone here can see how low and nasty you really are, laughing at my terminal cancer and celebrating the fact..... see guys, this is the real Stephen Compton EXPOSED for what he is.. a person with zero compassion for a fellow human being... well done Klompton, it took a while to expose you but now I have done it. I may be dead soon but finally we all know what you are.

    Well that sounded like a compliment.... as for the tit for tat, here is why I have been doing it, Klompton actually wrote this laughing about my cancer.
    So what do you think about that ?..... now that I exposed him I will ignore him and the only replies I shall make to him with emoticons and I will try get serious and write some stuff people may enjoy. Look I didn't make this thread as a joke, yes Greb has a fabulous resume, yes there are a lot of unanswered questions I have about him and if I raise a point questioning something, like a result it shouldn't result in widespread anger, all questions are legit, as long as you don't know the answer already or if it's a quiz. This match up is a fair question and to make things clearer I am not and never have been a fan of Jones.

    See his reply to you, yep it was pathetic and as usual completely spiteful, the dude probably has no footage that no one else has but that won't stop IT thinking IT is GOD and superior to all of us. Ask him what threatening fighter/opponent did Roy duck ? funny because I can't remember a single guy who was a threat to him in that weak era.

    One thing worth pondering on this one is that if Greb is time machined to meet Jones' schedule, he almost certainly equals it or is close to equalling it.

    If Jones is time machined and faces Greb's schedule, it is hard to imagine him being as successful.

    I still pick Jones, head to head in a modern three fight series, but as far as what he actually did, Greb is probably the more impressive. It is also likely that his chin was quite a bit better, and work rate higher. I think Roy hit harder and imagine him to be quicker because he is as fast as anyone i have ever seen. Still, Noone has seen how quick Greb was. Is it conceivable that he might have been as quick as Jones Jr?

    Are there any threads left on this forum wherein baby men are not huffing and puffing behind keyboards and tossing insults?

    Is there any redeeming value left to this thing?

    Yeah...civil, respectful debates are gone. :-(
    No one can disagree and not say someone is ignorant blah blah...or worse!!! I genuinely like to read some poster's opinions...but it's getting very few are very far in between tbh.

    This might actually be the case right here...Jones' speed and power would astound Greb...Greb's toughness, and ability to close distance, smother and mug would be difficult for anyone in the weight range to deal with...There!!! A post without denigrating either one!

    There was before this dying **** graced us with his presence. Go back and look at the times hes popped up on this forum and see how it devolves. Sorry but when a guy makes a miserable ass of himself at every opportunity for the sake of being a miserable ass Im not going to shed any tears when he tells me he has cancer. I have no use for him and never have. Go back and look at every post the ******* has made, particularly in relation to me (and there are a lot) and youll see why i could give a rats ass if this piece of **** gets hit by a bus. His behavior is rooted in the fact that i dont agree with his ridiculously high opinion of darcy and can actually state an intelligent argument for why... And guess what, most people agree. But because Im vocal hes zeroed in on me and followed me around the internet like the waste of humanity he is. Go back and read them and tell me you wouldnt be happy to **** on this idiots grave with me. Can anyone here claim this loser hasnt made 90% of his posts on this forum, boxrec, facebook. Etc as a means to troll me or inflame me or someone else who doesnt agree with him? The other 10% have been him trying to convince everyone that Les Darcy was the greatest fighter in his history. Who is a trolling fantasist?

    Still, there's some comedic value to it I guess. Not exactly Jerome K. Jerome, but I'll take what I can get.
