This needs to be said. How can you call a guy you’ve never even seen fight a p4p great? Harry greb was a bum, that Armstrong bloke was bum, John L Sullivan was a bum.

I see hipsters claim greb would beat pacquiao, mate you’ve seen 5 seconds of grainy footage from 100 odd years ago and you’re basing your outlandish claim on that.

People calling Joe Louis the best heavyweight ever. Guess what? BUM. He sparked a German out once so what. Anthony Joshua sparks him out without breaking a sweat. I don’t even like Joshua.

Rocky Marciano could hang with the modern heavyweights I hear you say? He’d be hanging off Joe Joyce’s giant testicles like a fucked up kangaroo for dear life to stop his face getting jabbed in.

And before you say ‘oh but if they had the sports science we had they’d be way better.’ They didn’t. This is boxing, not fan fiction. All your geriatric heroes would get smashed to bits if they’d competed in this day and age.

I hate Harry Greb. I can read about Harry Potter doesn’t make him fucking Gandalf does it. Stop being hipsters, watch a boxing match from this century and leave the reminiscing about ‘the good old days’ to somewhere else.

Peace
