i agree with kostya the guy was terrible in that video anyway if he had half a brain and was clowning around for the cameras he would of done something good and made it look better without trying if he was as good as u say he is but he was crap in that vid

i dont think he became some sort of juggernaut once he got into the ring...thats his boxing style right there

Based upon what?

sorry i dont know how to post videos so you can watch them here, but theres some footage of him shadowboxing

hes pretty bad

i know he accomplished a lot but i think thats due to his contemporaries being very limited themselves

i dont think he became some sort of juggernaut once he got into the ring...thats his boxing style right there, and he looks like a mental patient swinging his arms about rabidly

honestly i think the 30's/40's was the turning point for boxing as far as skills went, when guys robinson, louis, walcott, charles etc came along, guys with excellent form and ability

the guys before that were pretty awful skill wise

I ain't gonna say anything but simply put a quote from Hank Kaplan

"HK: Greatest fighter? I suppose there is a definitive answer to that, but I’d have to break it down this way. My personal favorite fighter is Joe Louis. But the greatest two-fisted fighter I have ever seen is Henry Armstrong. The most skilled fighter I‘ve ever seen is probably Sugar Ray Robinson. The most scientific boxer I have ever seen is Willie Pep, without a doubt. And the man I believe to be the greatest fighter who ever lived is Harry Greb. Nobody before him or since him has done the things he did. He was merely a middleweight and he fought light-heavyweights and heavyweights all over the lot. And here is a guy with 300 fights"

Yeah he beat Gene Tunney and...


Greb outboxed Tommy Loughran for 15 rounds.

Loughrun outboxed Max Baer for ten rounds.

Max Baer outboxed Schmelling for ten rounds.

Schmelling outboxed Louis for 12 rounds in their first fight.


Greb couldn't have been that primitive technically.

well he ****ing was! and that logic you used is ****ed!!

Based upon what?

he may have lifted in the ring to some extent, (ie: more aggression, more focused) but his embarrassing lack of skills wouldnt have magically fixed themselves

fighter usually look better fighting than they do just shadowboxing, but you dont go from being charlie zelenhoff shadowboxing to ray robinson in the ring...

The logic i used was entirely solid but probably missed by you because you chose to ignore the word " OUTBOXED".

Not simply "knocked out", each of the fighters outboxed the opponents mentioned round after round (Which is why I put the duration of the matches up there).


Now if i was talking about matches in which fighters were only knocked out, then there would be a flaw in my logic.
