Where do you rank Harry Greb?

[IronDanHamza]

and the fact that im getting red k'd over my opinion is hilarious..you can not say this guy is a atg and you NEVER seen him fight,and then the footage we have of him is worse then a beginner

You keep referring back to the footage of the sparring session with is pretty much an exhibition against an ancient fighter in which he's clearly not being serious. You've had this told to you but you keep repeating it.

Until we see footage of his fights we can never really say how great he was H2H but in terms of being an ATG, of course he is. Just look at his resume. It's one of the best resume's of all time.

There's footage of Ali ******* around in training too. If that's all you saw of Ali would you believe he was "The Greatest"? I'm sure film of Bundini Brown throwing a beach ball at Ali's abs would give you real confidence in his abilities.

Some say that his dirtiness is overstated.

I personally think if footage of Harry Greb is released that people will be disappointed. His resume is amazing, simply amazing. I think people are expecting a perfect fighter.

He looks incredibley crude on that sparring footage but let's be fair, it's obviously not a serious session. Infact, it's barely even contact. He's sparring a guy he knows #1 and #2 he's literally ancient in that video. People seem to put more emphasis on it.

The fact of the matter is though, his resume is incredible. He certainly has one of, if not the best resumes of all time. It's a real shame there's no footage of him.

Once upon time, people had a lot of faith that Greb footage was out there. Seems people have given up shape.

I dunno how dirty he is. ppl will say what they want I guess but ice read numerous newspaper articles on his fight thanks to dome neat library tools from my Alma mater and they paint him as a very up close and personal warrior type not afraid to get his hands dirty. it was no wonder many were scared to fight him. he was a tough sob. I dunno how that translates in to today's boxing but for his time, he was among the most feared and respected. that much is very clear

i thought all of the people calling you an idiot were just hating, starting to think they were right

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.

You forgot to add:
5. Boxingscene's biggest attention whore (as witnessed by his bragging about getting butt****d by 20 guys in jail).
6. Consistently butthurt when anybody suggests that someone who fought more than 10 years ago was better than Floyd hence his demented crusade against the past greats of the sport.

Oh yeah, people said he was dirty, ruthless, viscous etc etc.

But some say he's the dirtiest fighter ever. Other's have disputed that. I guess until we see his fights we'll never know.

We know one thing for sure, he would fight anyone, great fighters, bigger fighters, skilled fighters and most of the time he came out on top. That much has to be respected surely?

Greb's style of fighting has been most commonly likened to Aaron Pryor's.

That's a good point.

Imagine judging a fighter off one session? That's not even a real sparring session no less. More of an exhibition.
