One of the enigmas of this wonderful sport. I think the fact he fought anyone, anytime, anywhere was definitely admirable.

But you have the words of his contemporaries who did see him fight. It's fine if you want to throw out what the journalists said, since they might have exaggerated and weren't experts at analyzing fighters.

But you can't tell me that his fellow boxers didn't know what they were talking about. Especially the ones who were world champions.

The fastest fighter I ever saw. Hell. Greb is faster than Benny Leonard (lightweight champion).
-Heavyweight champion Jack Dempsey

Greb gave me a terrible whipping. My jaw was swollen from the right temple down the cheek, along the chin and part way up the other side. The referee, the ring itself, was full of my blood. If boxing was afflicted with the commission doctors that we have now, the first fight probably would have been stopped and no one would have heard of me today.
-Former boxing great Gene Tunney

we as humans are very visual people.............i can not go by what other people said as any kind of validation to put greb in my top 5.


I take what some of those guys said about greb & say to myself "he was some kind of fighter" but words is not enough for me to put him in my top 5 (or any other fighter) thats where I draw the line with that...........

In the context of his own era, yes he was one of the greatest. However, thanks to tremendous advancements in Sports science, if thrown in the ring today he wouldn't last more than a couple rounds than ANY modern world class fighter.
