    im not saying hes crap im not even saying willie meehans crap, he did beat and tie a dempsey, id rank greb at like 3 on the p4p ladder as all the resumes are near equals robinson and langford seemed to have better boxing and knock out skills placing them above him plus the style greb used in my opinion is suited for a younger person and a style that would not last him through the years....not that he needed to amass any more of a record then what he had just that after 35 ish his style just wouldnt be as effective anymore.
    I imagine him more in the mold of Armstrong, Frazier or Pryor. I've got his biography but haven't gotten around to reading it yet. When I do and what I learn I'll be happy to share my man.

        I got that one, the Joe Gans biography and the Langford biography by Clay Moyle the last time I put an order in. Almost done with the Langford biography and highly recommend it. Wish I had more time for reading but between here, work and the pool league I shoot in I only get in about 15, 20 pages at a time.
