Both of those guys can easily be entered onto someone's list. Conn is relevant and you could make the case Greb also as he handed Tunney his only pro loss and theirs another disputed loss to Tunney out of the 5 times they fought. Greb was a real p4p fighter in an 8 man division. He fought guys that outweighed him by more then 30 pounds. He beat up Levinsky who Nat Fleischer holds to be the 5th greatest light hev of all time. He also fought and beat future hev contenders. Conn was pitching a shut over a much better version of Louis then Marciano fought until the 13th round. Of course he's relevant to the conversation.
