Benny Leonard vs Harry Greb

Post by AngryGoon38 »

This seems like it easily could've become a very doable bout. Leonard retired at 28 in early 1925,after a tough bout in 1924. Had Greb not gotten nose surgery in 1926,and Leonard came back much sooner than 1931,like let's say 1927 instead,then this bout could've came to fruition.

Greb was way too big and great for Leonard.

Benny was a Lightweight and Welterweight. He'd have no chance.

Harry Greb is pretty much P4P one of the greatest boxers of all time, AND he's the bigger man.

Come on man.
