Get a clue boonta. Greb was one of the greatest fighters pound for pound in boxing history. He fought all of the major contenders of his era, at times outweighed by more than fifty pounds. In addition he was one of the roaring twenties larger than life men of sport. They should do a movie about his life.

Who can name a better middleweight? Ray Robinson lost too many as a middleweight, Carlos Monzon, who did he fight? Marvin Hagler just about beat Duran, a Pumped up 140lb fighter and what about Roy Jones..he would of avoided him like the plague....who do you think then ?

granted harry greb wus a superb boxer. but he wus dirty. he used his thumbs, head, and elbows just as easily and frequently as his fists. being a great boxer is one thing, being a great but dirty boxer is sumthing that doesnt qualify for real greatness.

Great website on the 1920's middleweight champion that Ring Magazine rates as the greatest middleweight of all time! Quicktime videos, bio pages on 100's of other fighters during that era that are unique to this website, and much more!

Harry Greb stands out as one of the most formidable fighting machines of all time. He seldom weighed as much as 160 and he fought men as large as heavyweights. He beat them, too. He fought Kid Norfolk when no one wanted anything to do with the guy. He ducked nobody. He fought Tiger Flowers when Flowers was too black and way too good for any other contender to consider, and when he himself was past his prime and blind in one eye, courtesy of Kid Norfolk. And he met an unbeaten lightheavy, Gene Tunney, the American champ, and gave Tunney what Tunney called the worst beating of his life. Tunny later twice beat Jack Dempsey, and Dempsey's manager wanted no part of Greb. A Greb-Dempsey fight in the summer of 1920 would have been one helluva barn burner. Greb wasn't a huge puncher, but he started throwing a barrage of blows from every conceivable angle and kept this up round after round, and along the way he had some of the dirtiest and most hurtful tactics ever slipped past a referee. He wasn't called the Human Windmill for nothing. Greb could do one thing Robinson couldn't do, fight big, strong top-ranked lightheavies and soundly whip them.
