really good little film, greb playing handball near the end is amazing considering he only had one eye. film of the walker fight exists but i've heard the quality is very bad. thanks barnburner, very good thread

Greb had an amazing physique. Look at the muscle definition in his arms and back.

Are you sure about this? I've been under the impression NO fights of Greb exist (at least publicly) let alone one of his most coveted fights.

I have always read that no fight film of Greb exists.

I started a thread a bit ago and that was the general concensus.

No. There is some footage available of him. There is a small amount of footage available from his first Tunney fight I think it is.

Do you have a source??

No unfortunately. It was a long time ago that I saw it and it was only a short clip. It was ab out two rounds worth of stuff from memory and from their first fight. He looked like a real madman though.

****, it might have been bull**** for all I know and something someone dodgy bastard made up.....?

That's wallball they're playing (or at least, that's the name I've always known it to be, with handball being a little different).

Almost cruel, in any case, for us to all watch this. We're so close. It's like finding a freshly-dead dinosaur. You can almost see the real McCoy, doing its thing...but it's just not quite within your grasp at the end.

Man may just have been the best boxer of all-time, & we don't have a single fight to his name.

Truly bizarre shadowboxing, loading up telegraphed punches and pawing all over the place (I've seen at least half of this footage before). The rest is pretty standard fare for the time though.
