Sam Langford
Largely because of racial discrimination and because black heavyweight Champion would not offer him a title shot, he is the greatest fighter in history to have never received a chance at a Championship despite having fought some of the greatest fighters in history. He had great punching power, agility and ring intelligence and fought such men as Joe Jeanette, Harry Wills, Jack Johnson, Joe Gans, Joe Walcott, Stanley Ketchel, Philadelphia Jack O'Brien, Sam McVey and Tiger Flowers.

Harry Greb
Harry Greb was perhaps the most fearless fighter in boxing history and fought eeryone from middleweights to heayweights. Harry defeated 11 Hall of Famers and 18 World Champions in his career and is well klnown for having given Gene Tunney his only career loss. He also had a draw and a controversial split decision loss against Tunney. Harry also fought such fighters as Tommy Loughran, Jack Dillon, Maxie Rosenbloom, James Slattery, Mickey Walker, Tiger Flowers,and Mike and Tommy Gibbons. Harry got the best of hewavyweight Champion Dempsey in all out sparring sessions and wanted a shot at the title believing he would win but never got the chance. He did win the middleweight title in 1923 and is well known for having to have fought for quite a few years while being blind in one eye. Harry was a blur in the ring and threw punches from impossible angles and for the entire fight.

How would this fight go? I believe that Langford would of course have the power edge and Greb the speed edge. This figt would have been competitive and close with many rounds being practically even in my opinion. But despite the power of Langford, he never fought anyone with near the tenacity of Greb who could consistently throw punches nonstop and never stay in one place for long and in the latter rounds this would work in Greb's favor earning him a close decision win.
2 of the greatest fighters of all time and a tough fight to pick any winner so I would go as far as calling this fight a pick em, maybe a slight edge to Langford because he fought as heavy as heavyweight with great sucess
i'm going with sam langford simply because of his power , as great as greb was he wasn't a banger unlike langford
this is a good one, and i'm gonna have to cop out. i can't answer this. sorry
