    Just off the top of my head, Joey Maxim must be up there.

    McGrain is right with Greb though. And what an avatar.

    You also have to consider the # of out and out tough *******s he met in between, guys like Roper, Delaney, Meehan, Shade, Keiser, not like he was treading water between facing these absolute top men.

    And just looking through his record there's plenty of other names there too that are decent. Just a ridiculous record.

    I'd still take Angott (decided he's the #1 now). Greb obviously has the better winning record.
