      You got a different way of ranking fighters Larry.

      Some people rank on accomplishments, you rank on what you can see.

      It's undeniable that he accomplished a lot relative to his era. He beat so many of the other greats of that time.
      Even if you think that he'd do badly H2H (I agree with you there)

            Larry's crusade against the deification of old timers doesn't really work because:

            1. Larry is essentially dumb
            2. Larry really don't know sh-t about boxing. If you read his posts, it's generally a regurgitation of stuff people have already said somewhere else, almost verbatim (obviously you've gotta factor in his atrocious spelling).
            3. Larry doesn't understand the importance of the history of boxing and the context it provides to modern boxing. He watches montage videos of Floyd Mayweather executing brilliant pull-counters and can't understand why some people could rate Ray Robinson over that.
            4. This is someone who idolises Floyd Mayweather and will defend him over his baby mama drama. This is a level of crazy that you can't debate rationally with.

                  They were the best of their time. Greb beat them repeatedly to establish himself as the best of his time.

                  That's an accomplishment. Whether or not they would be journeymen is more opinionated (I still agree)

                  But he beat them on a level playing field, he didn't have a time machine or anything. He was just as raw as them.
