Harry Greb:'Nobody can get (Dempsey) in good enough condition to whip Gene'

[Joeyzagz]

"Id feel like a burglar taking Jacks money"

Harsh words, indeed. Why would Greb say that about a beloved Hall of famer if it wasn't true?

harsh words or perhaps just greb holding tunney in high esteem.

I would put my money on a prime dempsey knocking greb out if they would ever met

I still don't see him knocking out the Iron chinned Greb but, the fight may well get stopped.

The famous quote is taken from the Harry Greb Biography written in 1946 by James Fair. It is featured on Harry Greb's official website as well so its legit.

Sounds like he did not have much respect for Dempsey's "skill" I trust Greb's word seeing how he beat Jack 3 times in sparring.

If the fight were to not be stopped by a ref Dempsey could very well kill Greb if his chin is as good as you believe.

Probably because he's talking about a quote spoken by Greb. Jorgenson's opinion on Lewis taking steroids isn't made any more relevant by a Harry Greb biography he wrote. They don't have anything to do with each other.

Jorgenson never mentioned that quote in his autobiography of Greb.... also that quote is meaningless it is like Bernard Hopkins claiming no one can get Lewis in shape to fight Vitali.
