    Greb. Not only the greatest at 160, the greatest of all time in any weight class. Deepest resume at 175 too.. better than Ezzard Charles' IMO.. Then we have the likes of Fitz, Zale, SRR, Langford, Hagler, Steele, Monzon, Burley, Hopkins, Toney, Benvenuti etc... all great fighters in their own right but Greb is king. His resume is untouchable.

    Jones jr can't be called the greatest middleweight cos he didn't stick around too long at the weight but for my money when he was champ there, he was best middleweight if you taking about h2h matchups

    When there is no film of your fights, when most of your fights had no judges, when every public spar or exhibition is counted as a fight, when nearly every bout went the distance, and when practically the only accounts of most of your fights are from local hometown newsmen who said you won every round ...

    Of course, your resume is untouchable.

    If we had no Canelo fights on film, every spar or exhibition of his counted as a "no-decision win" and basically only the Guadalajara press kept score, he'd be 350-0 right now.

    Greb's resume is fantasy.
