    If Greb is mentioned then Johnny Dundee deserves a mention too. Similar styles.

    Hell no.

    If he was then people would have found his measure sooner.

    He could almost morph between being a swarmer and a technical boxer at will, but even when he was a swarmer he was not exactly an orthodox one.

    Marvin Hagler, for switching between orthodox and southpaw, although he was textbook both ways

    George Foreman

    Rocky Marciano

    A lot of these answers seem very inappropriate.
