In my opinion, none of the above would have went the distance with Harry, we're writing about these guys in their primes correct? As everyone who comes to this forum with any regularity knows that I'm very fond of the fighters of the 80's I think it was one of the richest eras in boxing as far as talent goes, but the fighters of Grebs era were truly special.
In the 80's fighters were staring to break into big money fights and the Champions could start to become a bit picky about who, when and where they fought, I'll site Ray Leonard ducking a young Aarron Pryor as a prime example. Unfortunately money was starting to become the only ambition most fighters needed instead of the purpose of fighting the best.
Depression era and shortly after-wards fighters were all together a different breed, there were no huge venues and there were no multimillion dollar paydays. A lot of times if they didn't fight their families didn't eat. There wasn't blatant ducking of an opponent the public wouldn't put up with it. The fighters that were Champions were truly the best of their weight divisions (there were fewer) There were fighters that often fought other fighters 10, 15 and 20 pounds outside of their weight class and Greb was one of them.
The fights: Harry would have stopped Joppy in less than 6 rounds. Greb was deffintely the stronger of the two and power would be the biggest difference in this fight, although Joppy has/had an excelent jab this would not be enough to keep a young in his prime Greb off of him.
Harry would have his gloves full when it came to Michael Nunn, there were no fighters in Grebs era that fought the way Mike did. Harry would eat a lot a crisp sharp accurate punches from Nunn, but since Greb was use to fighting much bigger opponents with much heavier hands than Nunn's this wouldn't be a problem for a young Greb to adjust and start to cut the ring off and impose his will. Harry would stop Nunn in round 13, too much wear and tear on Michaels body.
Harry's fight against Iran "The Blade" Barkley would somewhat resemble Hagler vs Hearns. This would be a complete and total war while it lasted, both of these fighters would let lose with everything they had and not hold anything back. The punches exchanged would have the people ringside watching with their mouths open. As we all know now, when Iran moved up in weight his punch didn't, Greb fought against men that were much heavier than he was and was able to hurt them and sometimes stop them, this would be the reason why Greb would stop Barkley in less than 6 rounds, there could be no other way, both fighters would be a bloddy mess and this fight, out of all the ones I wrote about would be the fight that boxing experts compared all wars to.
Thanks for the fantasic question.
