Here's some footage of the great forgotten Harry Greb

You can't compare amateur fights with headgear and big gloves to pro fights fought in terrible weather conditions with tiny gloves. The old timers had it rougher period, let's not downplay their accomplishments. They had it harder than modern fighters period.

The Pittsburgh windmill practiced the "manly art of modified murder" as one writer described his style. Best known for his fights with Tunney. I've always wondered why most hold Greb in higher regard than Tunney...Harry won the first fight with the help of a headbutt, but Tunney came back winning the rematch making that first fight his lone loss. Must be that amazing long fight record...eighty three total bouts for Gene must have been too low for his time...lol

Thanks for sharing the vids

i swear man, this is the first time i've heard of this guy...but nah willie pep i knew, but i never knew a boxer in history could have gotten 200+ victories in boxing.

Also keep in mind that Greb did all that while being blind in one eye and partially blind in the other.

look at greb's defense. he moves his arms around in circles to catch the blows, then counterpunches. interesting..
