Harry Greb is seen as a top 10 p4p fighter all time as well as a top 10 all time middleweight. Is it time to evaluate his career a little more closely and say he is a top 10 lightheavy? I think so.
With wins over Tunney, Norfolk, Tommy and Mike gibbons, Tommy Loughran, Levinski, Delaney, Rosenbloom, Jack Dillon, Slattery, Wiggins etc. his resume is a who's who in one of the best era's for that division. He not only beat most of these guys multiple times, but plenty of other contenders at 175. He was also ducked by George's Carpentier. I believe it's high time his career at that weight or against guys fighting at that weight should be examined more closely and compared to those accepted by most as top 10 all time lightheavyweights. Can a case be made? If no, why not?
