    IMO, it's between that & Armstrong's 1938 run where he won the WW & LW titles.

    Yeah but I think Greb beat a better calibre of fighter so he edged it for me.

    Lennox Lewis in 2000. Fresh from his victorious reunification in 1999, he destroyed the then highly regarded contender Michael Grant, stopped the tough Frans Botha and schooled the hard punching, n°1 contender David Tua.
