i've had the discussion that walker could beat bigger men etc.and grebs win is a very good win.mccoy had been ko'd by robson and beaten by dillon in his last 2 fights.he barely won a fight after either.you know i don't discount his wins over loughran either.i just stated that at 20/21 tommy was not as good as he would become,however he was a damn fine fighter still.could you give me grebs weight on the first loughran fight as the others he seemed to weigh 166-168?
now when harry was beating george chip i think you know full well what i said earlier stands.chip at his best never met greb at his best,then later on chip certainly had declined when harry was nearer his prime.
when i point out certain things with harrys record it clearly offends you,yet you feel you can throw in certain things with marvins career without being subjective.i've stated before and you can deny it all you want but there is a reasonable argument that can be made for and has been made by EXPERTS for the men i listed previously(which includes greb)as being the greatest middle.

Greb on points. However, I doubt if Greb ever fought anyone who hit as hard as Hagler. So it wouldn't shock me if the Marvelous one caught him with a big shot and knocked him out. But the problem with Hagler was that he seemed to fight different against quality opponents (Leonard and Duran for example.) He became more cautious and seemed to be happy with a decision. If Greb was as good as he's cracked up to be, he might make a cautious Hagler look real bad.
