      Greb beats Loughran and tunney (of whom we do have footage), and Armstrong loses to Zivic, but you feel comfortable making the comparison!?!?!?
      Zivic was highly underrated. One of the toughest scrappers of his day. He was no easy fight for anyone when he wasn't taking a dive for more money.

          You ask for footage of Greb as if that means something. As if footage of men he beat is unavailable. LOL, we don't have footage of a prime Charley Burley, either. But we know he was good enough for Armstrong to duck him.

          Seriously, Armstrong went life and death w/ Ambers, but you need footage of the guy who beat Mickey Walker to make an evaluation of him?

          No wonder you ride the shortbus to school.

            Oh, I agree. And the the myth that he was some sort of Boxing Jon Jones who only won by cheating and fighting dirty is totally overblown. Look at the reports of the day, he was able to out-box very skilled opponents and held his mud when he needed to.

            I am not disparaging Zivic. But he wasn't Roberto Duran, or even Ken Buchanan.

              yeah, and your parents are still waiting for you to grow out of velcro shoes. Tying laces isn't that hard. And you know you'll get a comic book and some candy bars.

                Burley was during that time frame, so if he was ducked then they obviously saw something we can't. Low reward high risk

                  Rusty since you wanna bring my parents into this shows your level of maturity come correct. Now if you wanna take it there then I'm good with that too

                    Also keyboard warrior you spoke about harry as if there was available footage and you obviously know damn it's not even 10 seconds of video of a fight. So before you tough remember you on a boxing forum, so instead of hurling insults like a girl would do be a man and drop some facts or do what most smart people do shut the **** before you speak out of turn again boy.

                      LOL, dude, I competed in Beast of the East and completed my dabbling in JuJitsu after achieving my purple belt. Never a world beater. Never someone who had any desire to enter a MMA cage. I definitely don't come on here trying to say i'm tougher than anybody else. And that was a life long ago. I am fat and lazy now. My idea of working up a sweat is riding a bike and boning my wife. But yeah, tell me how I'm a keyboard warrior. what have you done in life besides get buthurt that matches that? oh, i'm sure nancy pelosi thinks your courageous. and if you hear of social injustice you'll take to twitter. but why should dudes on a boxing forum respect you?

                      You said something ******. I said something funny. You got butt-hurt. like a true bish, your only retort as to say i'm hiding behind a keyboard. Probably you should just be happy that I'm not making you drink dirty toilet water.

                      go find your safe space w/ your double soy caramel macchiato... extra foam.
