Originally posted by Brunswick Assassin View PostI find this quite astonishing as to there being no footage of Greb!!! The guy fought 300+ fights and yet there's no footage??? Why is this so? I've seen footage of Greb sparing and drills but no actual fight footage. Let's not forget that those 21 losses on Greb's record are mostly attributed to those dreaded 'Newspaper' decisions. Greb also lost 5 of his fights after losing sight in one eye.

Originally posted by Sweet Pete View PostOh no, he was a great, no doubt, top 50, probably top 40, but come on, top 10? There are many who deserve to be ahead of him, even as great as he was. As great as Chavez was, he wasn't top 10, though I have him in my top 20.
Your saying alot of fighters can beat hofers,future champions from lightwieght - heavyweight? the guy even knocked down jack johnson and never got a rematch cause he was scared.
If a guy like jack dempsy says sam langford was the only real man he was scared of fighting then doesnt that say something about him.
He carried his speed , power and chin through all them divisions and even had gd defense but because of his size he would get hit alot by the 6ft heavywieghts 300 fights with most of them at heavywieght would hurt any 5ft7 fighter even when the heavywieghts mostly out wieghed him by 30 pounds cause he was small in wieght.
You think sugar ray robinson could of done what he did? sugar ray robinson could barely get a title at light heavywieght but sam was comfitable at light heavy and same with heavywieght.
Must i remind you of the eras? in sam's era the gloves were like gettin hit by a fist instead of a glove u think sugar ray could of took the blows sam took?
Sam stop fighting in his 40's but at the same time he could barely see so do you rearly think sugar ray robinson would of fought in his 40's and win when he could barely see?
When you compare the both sam wins tops.
Reason for this post was because not enough people remember this legend and he never gets much media attention.

To be honest most of the fighters in top 10 of all time are fighters with little to no footage. Thats why i don't really like to judge on All Time P4P top 10.

1. Ray Robinson
2. Harry Greb
3. Henry Armstrong
4. Muhammad Ali
5. Sam Langford
6. Ezzard Charles
7. Roberto Duran
8. Ray Leonard
9. Barney Ross
10. Pernell Whitaker
Only Greb and Langford have very little to no footage on my list. But other considerations for top 10 like B. Leonard, Joe Gans, etc have very little footage.
