    If youve never read it then my mistake. I was probably mistaking you for someone else.

    I believe i already answered your question about his eyesight above.

    Ill take the word of Grebs friends, family, and physicians over the words of a brainless darcy nuthugger who doesnt even have a firm grasp on the facts sorrounding his hero much less those sorrounding greb. As for Paxtons book if i cared to take the time i could document factual mistakes on nearly every page but i already wrote a 700 page book that does that so no need to cover old ground. Whether you buy it or not makes no difference to me. Its doing just fine without you.

    You are a laugh a minute, you get so irritated at the drop of a hat don't you.


    Oh I have a firm grasp on the facts on Darcy, you just try to denigrate him because you have no respect for boxers and what they go through, I have more than an idea, I have two friends who are boxers, Bob Mirovic and Corey Sanders so I am actually not what you think I am and Sanders went blind in one eye from Golota... I am not Harry Greb's enemy.... may be your enemy but I won't denigrate Greb like you do to Darcy whose name you have tried to destroy for years now... I find you pretty sad really.

    Instead of finding me sad you should be thanking me. Your pathetic obsession with me has given you something to do other than sit alone coloring in your les darcy coloring book and wondering what might have been. Im just glad i could enrich your short life and give some purpose :)

    Smokin' Joe Frazier fought almost his ENTIRE pro career with sight in only one eye. And he fought monsters. One who was named Ali.

    What is this thread coming to ? Now some are trying to diminish the fantastic difficult career of Harry Greb who had 300 pro fights averaging
    ONE fight every 10 days or so, by spouting that some other fighter had lost sight of one eye also sometimes in their career... Did Harry Greb ever bolstered his greatness by saying " look how great I was when for my last 5 years or so I had sight in one eye only " . HELL NO. He and his close handlers never uttered this fact, but it was found out after he died on an operating table. M, I loved Joe Frazier. Saw him live in the FOTC. Great heavyweight. But ponder this fact .In one year Harry Greb had 45 fights , EIGHT more bouts than Frazier had in his ENTIRE CAREER...Give the man his due is all I ask for. His memory deserves this...

    Giving someone their dues is one thing. It doesn't necessarily mean having more fights makes someone better. It was a different time. Yes, Greb's feats of endurance and prolific encounters are perhaps non -parallel.. He is a legend in his own right. He deserves fair dues.
    Frazier deserves his fair dues also; For his remarkable achievement in a short period. Facing very tough contenders while still very inexperienced. Rising to the pinnacle and winning the most important fight in heavyweight history.

    Once more. Not arguing w/ you, just adding about another one-eyed guy.

    How does the mention of other boxers with a similar problem take anything away from Greb? I don't get it!

    Bukkake, for so long a time YOU question every thread I voice an opinion...We started out friends, but you have become my adversary much too often. Life is precious at my stage and I don't have time for
    rebutting everything I post with others, by you...adieu...

    Klump, you should really listen to your doctor and take your medications. Your conspiracy theory's like the Archer cartel, is a good example of your 'er "thinking?" Maybe it's due to some imbalance in your body or head. I gotta ask you, what's with this? Nuthuggers, fan boys, bald muscular black men, always seems to have ***ual connotations, why is that?
    I am sure when you stop taking things personally things will get better. There really is no reason to resort to name calling. If you disagree with something, state your case and move on.
    "pathetic obsession", don't flatter yourself, it's your cyberbullying and arrogant ways I am obsessed with.
    Just a hint a little respect goes a long way, another thing go beyond reading and delve into what it takes to get in the ring with someone whose main purpose is to destroy you. Greb was an awkward fighter, who beat heavyweights due to his speed, awkwardness and ability to bounce around throwing arm punches vs slower heavyweights. I liken him to a pesty fly buzzing around and driving you crazy. If you want a hint of what he fights like, watch the shadow boxing he does. He was simulating a fight in his mind. That's what fighters do when they shadowbox they visualize. They shadowbox like they fight. As anyone can see he was no SRR in a classic style sense, he was a rough, tough guy who was difficult to fight that he might've or could've beaten SRR is a matter of opinion and it's fun to argue the point, so let's try less name calling and more civil back and forth.

    Mate no one is obsessed with you, you are just not that important, I have a laugh here and there at you that's all. Keep on thinking you enrich my life if you like. Now can you tell me where I can find a Les Darcy colouring book.... that would be a find.

    I agree with that. You cannot compare Greb's career to Frazier's except to say they were both exceptional but Frazier was clearly easier to hit, he fought some MASTODONS who could give brain damage easily, there is just no way Frazier with his style can do 299 fights, he would have been dead before 101 fights, also Joe never fought a No Decision bout in his life but I bet ya ten to a dollar if he had to he would have tried for an KO in every one instead of going through the motions like many seemed to have done. Harry Greb cannot be denied though I suggest that if he had to fight 299 bouts and none a ND bout his career may well have been shorter, in fact who here doubts that if he had to fight 299 Thrillas In Manillas he would have to have come from Krypton.

    Personally I just appreciate that you are here Burt, the place would be very ordinary without the colour you have brought here.
