So in what way would you criticise someone you haven't seen? What technical deficiencies in his style would you pick up on?
Sixty four actually,and his best wins were over a 36 years old Tubbs ,a 42 years old Witherspoon and a near 43 years old Holmes. Greb defeated 17 world champions.atsch
Too bad we aren't back in Greb's day. We could see Dino hype all of Greb's opponents as being the one to expose him, only to get proven wrong over 100 times.
Jesus, Greb gets mentioned by one effing poster and the outrage goes on for pages... One of the more pathetic sides of this forum.
i can't speak for anyone else but I just accept grebs skill makeup and exact style as an unknown, i would neither criticise or wax lyrical about it.
He managed to contradict himself and being inaccurate at the same time in his very first post. Since than he relied on double standards regarding footage, and gross generalization of the guy's record (mixed with poor comparisons) to sustain his position. It's not Greb. It's dino's defense.
If he'd just stuck to the by FAR most popular pick, Ali, he wouldn't need a defense. But one poster naming Greb gets half the board on him. You going to tell me that the only difference is that he didn't know Johnson pre-dated Greb? Come on. Actually Greb, Langford and Robinson are all reasonable picks since they generally are rated so highly that there certainly isn't much room for them being underrated. But I've only seen two of those mentioned, and that was by one poster. Who then got everyone else against him. (Not that there was much quality in his attempt at defense, mind you)
Calzaghe and Vitali. Wlad might not be to everyones taste, but i believe he is an ATG and much greater than his brother.
The difference between the people picking Ali and dino's point on Greb is he tried to develop his point and did a poor job at it. The Johnson thing was just one problem out of 2 his first post. He tried to defend his position by other fronts and failed in basically all of them. You, for example, mentioned Greb, Langford and Robbie as candidates for most overrated. Even if I don't agree with those positions I wouldn't answer to them cause there's no inaccuracies, or contradictions or anything like it being posted. No disrespect to dino btw.
My pick is already out there so I'll throw Marciano in HW H2Hs and Tunney in depth (LHW and HW) in the mix.
