    Harry Greb >Sugar Ray Robinson

    Harry Greb fought nearly 60 top 10 P4P fighters and went 40-12-5 against them spending over 9 years on the P4P list.
    He fought a staggering 28 top 3 P4P fighters going 4-1 vs the #1 P4P fighters in a short period of time.

    Imagine how much better his record would be when you realise most of those losses came at the hands of the much, much bigger Gene Tunney. Greb walked around at a shade over 160lbs he'd be nothing but a good size WW today. Do you know how insane that is? We have excuses today this guy weighed 3lbs more, this fighter weight drained the other by 2lbs. This guy was 160lbs soaking wet and hospitalising some of the finest fighters to ever live that were twice his size.

    This man is the #goat, not Sugar Ray Robinson.

    Men lie, women lie, numbers don't.

      Joe Louis is the GOAT but I’m fine with this opinion.

      At least I don’t have to hear anymore about Ali or something even ******er like Mayweather.

          His sparring and shadow boxing tekkers are awful if someone was in an amateur gym I'd expect them to be asked to leave.

                Lol…”top 10 ATG doe. Read the newspapers doe. You don’t know how to read doe. You are ****** because you can’t visualize a good boxer through literature doe!”

                Man that guy looks absolutely awful. Fck man. He looks like a child who is fighting for the first time.

                Seeing his style, it makes me wonder just how bad boxers were at that time if HE is among the best?

                Talk about having no competition. I mean I know all he had as competition were other robotic and unathletic fighters.

                It’s like watching Jerry West do a lay up and then watching Michael Jordan be an athletic freak. Day and night.

                It’s so sad that in boxing, the fighters of the past are the only one’s who can be labeled top 10 great and can’t be replaced. It’s no wonder that Americas great white hypes are now extinct. They can no longer compete in the sport because it became so international. It is no longer full of unathletic, awful boxers like him. Lol he is an ATG and HOF’er who fought like THAT? That is so ridiculous. There is no newspaper or radio recording that would make me erase his awful technique.

                  SRR was greater than Greb IMO but it’s very difficult to compare what you’ve read to what you’ve saw.

                  I find it difficult to rank Greb, Langford, Gans, Fitzsimmons etc because there’s such limited footage.
