The UN-FILMED Top 50 greatest ALL-TIME

[StarshipTrooper]

You would think so, but a lot of film has deteriorated and not survived, but maybe, just maybe film of Greb and other un-filmed fighters will suface, but time is fast running out.

Also, a lot of film was destroyed during WWII in order to scavenge their silver content for the war effort. A number of old silent movies were lost like that so I've no doubt fight footage was lost as well.

Yeah and apparantly the nitrate oxide was more valuable than the old films were, and besides they usually had no idea of the importance some of the old films, most sports have even less surviving films from that era by a long way. There are only a handfull of segments of Test Cricket in the 20's.

I always love how people try and pull Greb down by showing that video of him clearly messing around with a 50 year old Philly Jack and all that punching vid shows is that the man was fast.

Nice rebuttal right here.

I said that it shows he could punch fast, are you trying saying that he isn't doing towards the end of the vid ?.

I'm not saying he did anything 'amazing', just a simple observation.
