Excuse me for making this fight, I don't mean to disturb anyone.
What's the outcome here? Imagine a liberal referee (and a substitute on standby incase he cracks fro durablity before the two protagonists).
Ladies will not be admitted.
Your guess - who knocks out who? Which one is forced to quit?

I think tat as long as there is a theoretical termination point Greb should take it but without one it is a whole diferent game.
In a finish fight it turns on whether Greb can bleed Walcott into submision before he runs out of steam. This is certainly a possibility sine many of his oponents who lasted the distance only had the fact that they were acustomed to being on their feet holding them up.
Walcott is more proven over 20+ rounds although Greb did somtimes go 20.
The stylistic dynamic would be interesting because both these guys were verry hard to hit clean even when they werer coming forward. I am asuming that Greb was faster but Walcotts 5' 1''- crouch height combined with his olwn movemnt could give Greb something he had not seen before.

Walcott is more proven over long distances and the more powerful but Greb was meant to have an amazing cardio and could break you down and cut you plus he would be a fair amount bigger. Even though Walcott has more power considering Greb all time great chin and he was able to take shots from much larger men like Tunney or Norfolk make me believe Greb would probably win. Although you can never count out Walcott, but still Greb should be favoured.
