That's difficult to say. We just know, that Greb was real deal. We can see, that he had beaten a lot of guys, but we can't see, how he had done it, so it's impossible to name his advantages. However, there some things, that point to particular assumptions. Taking into account the era Greb fought in, we can suppose, that Greb was more of a fighter, than a boxer in the modern sense of the definition. He probably was a Dempsey-like aggressor, so he probably wouldn't be able to outbox apparently more subtle and elusive Robinson, what meant the key to victory was in imposing the own game and succeeding in it.
