Well considering that Greb is a natural MW(Perhaps the greatest MW of all time, hell has a case to being the greatest P4P fighter of all time) fought at HW and was avoided by the HW champ I would say yes he was stronger than Pac. How could you say he wasn't? I didn't know Pac was as strong as LHW's now. If that's the case then something tells me is more than white rice that he's taking.
Pac would destroy Henry Armstrong and Harry Greb

Both of those fighters weren't really considered 'boxers'.another idiot who think only boxing is the only sport that athletes never improved. but all others are...you still think armstrong and greb were faster and stronger than Pac? Pac annihilate those guys. i dont care if they can box..Pac annihilate every boxers that can box..
Harry Greb was a natural Middleweight who out hustled and out muscled Natural, All time great, LightHeavyweights.
Safe bet he was stronger than Manny Pacquiao.Comment

You missed Monzon's 14 defences of the Lineal Middleweight Title.Which Henry Armstrong record has been broken? He's tied with Fitzsimmons as the only two to hold 3 lineal titles in the original 8 weight-classes and Armstrong holds 19 title lineal WW defenses.
Joe Louis has what? 25 lineal HW defenses?

I don't think he knows who Armstrong and Greb are. He just know they're old school fighters. So obviously not so good. Because, track and field has evolved so much...Comment

Lol.
'
Mayweather landed 44% of his shots on the same backpeddeling Shane Mosley one year younger.
Pacquiao could only land 31% of his punches.
You fools take knockdowns to the heart.
Marquez was knocked down 3 times in the first round by Pacquiao. I guess Pacquiao messed up Marquez pretty bad? Not.
Oh Pascal knocked Hopkins down twice in the early rounds, Pascal really beat the hell out of Hopkins then.Comment

Weight is a very relative thing.How is Floyd bigger and stronger than SRR? SRR started as a LW who had a fight a LHW. Was also taller than Floyd. Do you think Floyd could fight as a LHW?
I mean I guess that could hold true for HW's. Seeing that back in the day the top HW's rareley weight more than 225 pounds. While now is rare to see a top HW who weighs less then 225 pounds.
But, back then a WW weighed 147, today a WW weights 147. Where is the bigger and stronger coming from? A MW now weighs 160 a MW 100 years weigh in at 160. And, you can do that for every weight-class except HW I give you that.
I have not seen a faster fighter yet then Camacho or Taylor. so how are fighters from today faster?
And, honestly can't really say that Floyd was faster than SRR, maybe had better reflexes I give you that. But, SRR had very good speed.
Yes, there were and still are WW that are at 147. And in both generations these guys at 147 (or whatever weight) varied in speed, power, and endurance.
Back then though those traits were severely limited due to the lack of exercise and nutrition knowledge. It was believed that running 6 miles a day and eating a steak after going to the gym was a winners routine.
Now we know that long distance running is essentially useless. We can eat a certain way and train a certain way to become even more athletic then we though was possible.
The difference is that back then a fighter at 147 fought trained to hone fundamentals rather then shape them athletically. Now we know we can manipulate our body at a weight such as 147 to be stronger and faster.
I concede that fighters of the older generations may be more fundamentally sound, but I think the athleticism of fighters now is more prevalent.Comment
