    Terrible quality video of Greb-Tunney or Joe Louis vs Abe Simon filmed with modern cameras and production?

    Personally, the latter because Simon is the least known of that bunch.

    Not even close. Tunney-Greb. Why do you ask? Are these films your next two projects? :aplastao::ibutt

    Greb v Tunney is the pick, but which fight?

    Any of them would satisfy me. We can't afford to be choosy on this one!

    Any one of the Tunney-Greb fights would be worth it.

    I would have to go with the Louis-Simon fight. The Tunney-Greb fights would have been way better, but I hate watching awful film of famous fights, like Graziano-Zale II. I would rather see a well-filmed vintage fight.

    This is a tougher question than it looks at a glance, I'm almost leaning towards the premium quality Louis-Simon bout, if only because watching Joe Louis in modern high definition film would be a treasure. But to pick that over a Greb fight, and vs. Tunney at that? Quite the dilemma and one that I think I might change my mind on many times over.

    I pick Greb Tunney since it's puzzling how we have almost no footage of such a legendary boxer.

    Yeah, Greb and it's a no-brainer. Although there's genuinely quite a lot of other fights I'd rather see than these two.

    Charles vs Moore I, II & III
    Charles vs Bivins I, II, III
    Charles vs Burley I & II
    Lewis vs Rosenbloom (any)
    Graziano vs Zale I & II
    Petrolle vs Battalino I
    Robinson vs Gavilan I & II
    Ortega vs DeMarco I, II & III

    &c, &c.

    Greb vs Tunney 1.

    Tunney was a little pre-prime, but this is his only official lost. I liked to see what happened in round one. There is some talk out there at Greb, who was a windmill of action with more parts of his body than his fists, slammed the top his his head into Tunney's nose and face area.

    Tunney could not recover from it, and Greb kept his foot on the gas pedal for the remaining 14 rounds.
