      Harry Greb is the greatest p4p ever . I’ve been fascinated with this guy ever since I first started following boxing as a kid . I’ve been calling Greb the greatest ever for decades on various boxing sites Long before Harry started to become a subject . Now he’s become a Legend once again . If you delve deep into his career it is truly amazing . No boxer can touch him simple as that . God bless Harry

          The "100 wins" era............Why were so many guys from back then able to accumulate 100+ wins ?
          BOTH had 100+ wins by age 32............................
          (Harry 299 fights)
          Sry but, give me a fcking break

          How many of us, if we could travel back in time, not laugh our asses off watching this style of fighting and not call every mug on their soft resumes ?!?!?

          *Greb had a highly aggressive swarming style of fighting, aided by quick movement and notable toughness. He also used dirty fighting tactics, including spinning his opponent and using the heel and laces of his gloves."

            Been fascinated for ages with Greb, what a fighter. Once every few years I always start to research for his videos online, just to see if anyone ever reported any findings, but nothing, and unfortunately after 100 years it wont happen.
