Greb should be #1. Never ceases to amaze me that he beat as many or more hall of fame and champion LHWs than anyone, usually has several of the top 10 LHW scalps on his record, yet never makes these lists.

 

My list from 2009

1.archie moore
2.ezzard charles
3.sam langford
4.bob foster
5.michael spinks
6.gene tunney
7.billy conn
8.tommy loughran
9.harry greb
10.roy jones

 

Despite the fact that Harry Greb compiled a tremendous record while fighting so many light-heavyweights and heavyweights during his career, it still may be hard for many people to picture him as an all-time great light-heavyweight because he was more of a natural middleweight. That perception may have also hampered his quest of getting a shot at the world heavyweight championship.
