Langford and Walcotts 15 round "draw" or Burley vs Moore. Does anyone know why Greb was never filmed, surely he was very popular and famous at the time?

He was filmed but the footage corroded over time, Tiger Flowers was filmed too and there was actually a film made about his life which included some of his fights 1 of which was with Greb, that corroded too though.
There will be footage out there, just incredibly rare, BennyST said a while ago that he seen Greb vs Tunney, not sure if he was telling the truth but he is a reliable member.

i read that Quote by Benny ST that he watched Greb vs Tunney on TV and found it difficult to believe, however in the mid 1990s i had a satellite receiver which picked up a German channel DSF which showed a series each week that showed old fight-film footage of Armstrong, Canzoneri, Dempsey and most of the other great fighters from that era, i have never came across that footage so the chances are that Greb fight footage may well be out there.
To hard to pick one. But I'd love to see Greb vs Tunney I, Langford vs Walcott/Ketchel, Burley vs Moore, George Dixon vs Frank Erne III, Lamotta vs Robinson II.
