Could a case be made for this, I was looking through Grebs LHW resume and it really is quite remarkable.
He beat:
Kid Norfolk
Tommy Loughran x3
Maxie Rosenbloom
Went 1-1-3 against Tunney which could arguably have been 2-1-2.
Tommy Gibbons
Willie Meehan
Billy Miske
Jack Dillon
Battling Levinsky x6
Gunboat Smith
Mike Gibbons
Jack Delaney
He didn't hold the title but, he was "the man" in the division after beating Tunney and gaining the LHW belt so we can consider them the "lineal" champ and defended once against Loughran before contraversially losing it to Tunney the second time. The reason being Carpentier wasn't up for facing Greb while he was the best.
All while weighing over the MW limit.
