    Probably true. Though Ecbols could hit, was flaky and liked to swing from his heels.

    If Greb was anything like they say James Toney would be in trouble. Slipping punches is good but Harry Greb was called the Pittsburgh Windmill.. hitting him anywhere and everywhere. It wouldn't be pretty.

    Lesser fighters with zero punching power*cough*Tiberi*cough* swarmed Toney and had considerable success. My guess is that Toney woud find fighting Greb extremely unpleasant.

    I wouldn't say either were punching sluggers.
    I'm looking for the Graziano's, Hostak's, Ketchel's here.
