    You're not seeing him fight. He's not even really sparring. (though sparring can mean many different things, even today.)

    You're just seeing him showboat for the cameras. You can't judge his technique by these videos, and you certainly can't judge his heart, toughness, or tenacity, all of which must have been incredible.

    Artie Levine! :happy

    Basilio and Fullmer were pretty 'rugged'. LaMotta, of course.

    Greb would likely win a decision, yeah.

    Stories, archives, and reports passed down from one generation for the next to appreciate. Boxing historians will tell you how great he was. Thought on the other hand so will the boxrec warriors.

    I have zero doubts that Greb would beat Martinez. Do you think that Martinez is better than Tunney or that Martinez would beat Tunney? I already know you're trolling so I don't know why I even care to ask...
