    Watch the Johnson fight. He crouches so low his head is below Johnson's belt.

    The counter point is that when he fought bigger guys they usually didn't last as long.

    But they were not the most proven that he faced.

    For maybe 30 seconds of 20 minutes worth of action? This low crouch was just a change up not a standard.

    Greb's biggest challenge fighting in this era would be not dying from boredom due to inactivity.
