New Harry Greb picture

JAB5239

I found this over at ESB and thought some might be interested in seeing. Below is the post that went with the pic.

I've been working at the offices of Boxing News (a british boxing magazine) for the last week, and stumbled across this absolute gem of a picture, which, to our knowledge, has never been published before:

I am told this was taken just after Greb was involved in a car crash, around 1925.

Thought you's might enjoy it.

Do you have "Boxing" for January 18, 1912. If you do, and if it is not too much trouble, and if there is a story about the Dixie Kid vs Harry Lewis fight, could you send me a scan of the article(s) as an email attachment?

Yes, he has the prototypical "alpha male", athlete/boxer hands. . .

Very similar to me. . . Just look at the similarities between me and Greb!
