    I don't know Burt .... Greb had a shot without question but I see Charles as likely to fast, too sharp and too hard hitting at that weight ...

    he, Of course Charles might win. But the more I learn about Greb, the
    greater my respect for his accomplishments. Ezzard Charles was amongst the very greatest LHs in history,and weights being equaled ,I have him over Clay/Ali. But do we truly know if a prime Tommy Gibbons, [not the old Gibbons of the Dempsey/Tunney fights] would NOT have beaten Charles ?
    No, we don't. Gibbons looks so impressive as a 34 year old fighter destroying Jack Bloomfield on film.! And if a "poor man's Harry Greb", Ken Overlin could beat and draw with Ezzard Charles in 1941,why not the
    Real McCoy, Harry Greb?. Very possible...:hi:
