How would the Pitsburgh Windmill have fared in this talent laden era?

He fights em all from midleweight to heavyweight as he did in his own era.

Charles, Moore, Johnson, Satterfield, Marshal etc etc.

Let em rip.

Cerdan is dead, so this is late '49? If he was peaking in time to get to Jake before Sugar, he'd be champ. Weight-drained LaMotta could potentially take a worse beating from Greb than Robinson did though without the stoppage I think. Then you have a motivated, experience MW Robinson tackling peak Greb.

After that he tangles with Marshal, Charles, Moore, Satterfield, Maxim, Layne, Matthews etc etc.

Greb was a rare combo of quickness AND roughness I can see him giving every man on your list a good close fight (except Louis but he beats Ezzard Charles) now would he be a triple weightclass champ? Yep.
