You have issues. There are enough people who acknowledge how great Greb was. And Marciano is always in everyone's top Heavyweights list. Who is failing to give them their due?
I give Maraciano the business for fighting nobodies and has beens...but saying Louis or Ali is great doesn't mean Marciano is not. Saying Robinson is great doesn't rob Greb. And words like "greatest" are opinion. Most say Jordan was the greatest...youngsters will say LeBron, some may argue Bird... I personally think Magic...its all opinion, but everyone of them are great as a fact.
I totally agree w/ you ONE.
You are the most intelligent and eloquent person on here, in fact you've got to be the most sensitive, unbias contributor on here as well.
Everything you siad couldn't have been said better. Have a great day, and try not to get hit by a bus!
No, it's not race, it's because he wasn't the greatest ever, he struggled with Gene Tunney, and was KO'd by Joe Chip. Rocky never beat a top guy in his prime, and was extremely undersized. You also think Whladimir is great, and your judging him off of wins over slob Peters, and Povetkin, they are his most notable wins, and that is hideous. Anyone who fights old men, and cans looks great, it's when you face other greats you can really tell how good they are.
I always thought that the best resume ever could go to either Henry Armstrong, Robinson or Harry Greb.
But i think most people give it to Robinson because;
1. he beat an old Armstrong, so they automatically but Armstrong second even though Armstrong began fighting at featherweight.
2. there is no film of Greb fights.
Race has nothing to do with it.
The problem is there are no films of any of his fights, and he fought so long ago only true fight fans have even heard of him.
And the same goes for Rocky Marciano being the greatest heavyweight ever. Soon they will tell us Obummer is the greatest president we ever had too. In case some foreign folks wonder, we have a thing called affirmative action which is blatant charity in favor of mediocre coloured folks. We will award them for anything they do, even tying their shoes correctly or wear their jeans like normal adults.
Look at Joe Louis for example; a German Nazi bum KO'd his lights out, but to some he's the greatest, while the Rock is the only undefeated champ in history.
