Jack Dempsey and Rocky Marciano

could be but we should all be washed up like that!

greb was past his prime by 1925. besides, tunney outweighed greb in that fight by 15lb 182lb compared to greb 167lb

Perhaps so, but if Greb was past his prime in 1925 we should all aspire to being washed-up like he was! After losing to Tunney in their 5th and final fight, Greb went on to win his next 24 fights including wins over Jimmy Delaney, Mickey Walker and Maxie Rosenbloom, and then finally lost in Feb. 1926 to the great Tiger Flowers. When he lost the rematch with Flowers almost 6 months later it was to be his last fight, as he died just 2 months later in Oct. 1926.

Of course Tunney was basically a bigger man than Greb who was only 5'8", but they weighed close to the same for at least one of their fights. Boxrec.com doesn't have the record of their weights for 2 of their 5 fights.

If you guys can, you should try and get Dempsey's slient movie theater version of the fights.

Its way much better than the Big Fights showing a few rounds with poor commantary.

Great footage. I'm impressed with both men but especially Tate who I knew nothing about. He was no lumbering giant.

How the hell do people get the impression that Dempsey was crude... just look at that video.
