Harry Greb. Never saw him actually fight but if you look at all the HOF and ATG's on his resume it's almost unreal.Comment

Are you spinning out a new acronym?The GRIT (Greatest Resume In Total) belongs to a boxer who has fought the best competition, regardless of how many losses may have accumulated throughout his career. Compare this with the GOAT (Greatest of All Time) which tends to take into account wins and losses combined. Conversely, the GRIT just focuses on resume alone, regardless of whether they've won or lost.
So who has fought the best opponents throughout their entire career?
Oscar De La Hoya, as an example, fought Floyd & Jeff Mayweather, Chavez, Whittaker, Pacquiao, Camacho, Trindad, Hopkins, Vargas, Mosley, Molina, Mayorga, Sturm, Gatti.. He lost to many of them but this doesn't matter, he still could be top 3 GRIT.
It's all subjective, but who you got?Comment

I didn't think this idea of bestowing the title of 'The GRIT' was gonna fly with the sanctioning bodies.
So, I've had a good ol' chin-wag with the boys down at the WBC, and they're of the opinion that this is only gonna work if you declare one fighter as 'The GRIT' as a kind of interim award, and then declare another 'The True GRIT'.
I'm sorry if this confuses matters and/or renders the accolades meaningless, but I've been informed that this is the way that the show's being run now and we're all gonna have to get used to it.Comment

Fighting great opposition doesn't = having a great resume, it just means you fought great opposition.Comment
