Not sure about Marciano.
"When the gong sounded ending the round, Greb's left arm fell limp at his side..His face, screwed up, bore testimony to the pain he was suffering." He had broken the radius of his left arm and fought a full round in that condition. The next day, Greb's arm was splinted and he was showing the X-ray of the break around. The radius was completely fractured, "and the jagged ends were overlapping."
The other time was his 7th fight against a man named Joe Chip, who at this point was a little too experienced for Greb. Joe Chip weighed in at 156 while Greb only 142.
"Greb has no excuses to offer, except that he met a better man and hereafter says he will not go out of his class and meet a man who weighed 156 pounds in the afternoon, while Greb only scaled 142."
As for Marcinao I agree, I don't think his chin deserves a top 5 mention he never fought many who hit that hard for a Heavyweight at the top level. He was also floored numerous times from people who didn't weigh a great deal more than him.
