Continuing his goats from the boxing series, Dan Morley looks at the career of one of the biggest boxing.

The mythical statement about the greatest all of time is the argument that will take place forever. Many opinions differ about the one who rightly deserves its place among the top -sized peak and it is arduous to compare era, taking into account the natural evolution of sport from the breakthrough 20^th age.

However, I believe that there are nine fighters in history, whose work gives them the strongest claim to goat status. Men, whose achievements bordered on mythical, compilating are uncomfortable and dominate in a way that has never been exceeded at the peak of their power, while avoiding any pretenders and remain lively.

Perhaps you have already read about such as Roberto Duran and Willie Pep. In this series I will discuss each of these nine men’s career and say why I think that their claim to “the greatest in history” is so influential. This is not intended to discredit any of the other legendary fighters who are not on this list. I just believe that these people have achieved and the way they did it is only in their own range.

Today I will cover perhaps the most fascinating warrior of all time, “The Pittsburgh Windmill” Harry Greb.

Harry caught

Record: 261-16-19 (49 KO)

Dynamic years: 1913–1926

Harry Greb lived quickly and died juvenile. During 32 years of life, he avoided missiles, ran cars and fought with 299 professional fights, not taking into account his brutal public exhibitions. Greb, in its splendor, was a complete anomaly, constantly fighting in duels from 10 to 20 rounds and beating virtually every main name from welterweight to bulky weight.

It is vital to notice that no film material survived Greb’s fight, but from the accounts of all the great ones who testified it, he was extremely lively (Teddy Atlas states that in today’s landscape he would break the Punch statistics machine) and very elusive.

In his career, he was teeming with fighters and attacked at an inexorable pace at the time of long fights. It is also worth noting that he was not a gigantic blow, which means that his unusual domination in so many weight classes is even more fascinating. He changed his style to the last stages of his career, after terrifying injuries, using more filthy tactics.

His CV is the most impressive, with 33 victories of over 16 different international boxing room, from welterweight masters to one of the greatest heavyweight masters in history.

In total, Greb fought in over 60 fights with world champions and Hall of Famers. Speaking in a contemporary context, he has over 20 wins against Hall of Famers than Mayweather or Pacquiao. The great Jimmy McClarnin is the second in history in various Hall of Famers, defeated from 13, three behind Greb.

At the beginning of his career, learning professional craftsmanship, Greb suffered from most of his failures and draws, refining the record of 53-8-11 after 73 fights. When he reached the peak, “Smoke City Wildcat” went to the absolute path of domination, which was never matched.

Over the next 164 fights in six years he lost only three times and multiplied every defeat. The peak of this summit was his stunning 1919, where he reached a perfect 45-0 record for 12 months, beating many great eras.

Greb intended to expand this series even more, but illness and injuries forced him to remove a few months a year. The almost tax series would ultimately extend to 52-0 before Tommy Loughran defeated him. He answered another over 50 struggle with an undefeated series, which means that he lost only once in over 100 fights, competing through the section of five weight departments.

Over the years, he has sent many of the biggest boxing fighters countless times. He hospitalized the legendary world champion in the heavyweight of Gene Tunney in the first of their five fighting saga, brutalizing “The Fighting Marine” in the only defeat of General he ever suffered during over 80 fights.

Hall of Famers in the fight against Levinsky and Jeff Smith suffered six defeats with Greb, Tommy Loughran Four Four Porads, Tommy Gibbons Two defeats and Leo Hauck Three Porads. During his run, as a medium contender, he was refused to shoot at the title.

Therefore, after dominating in bulky weight, he decided to shoot at the bulky crown of Jacek Dempsey, where he defeated the pretender to the heavyweight of Bill Brennan and leading heavyweight rivalry Billy Myke, Gunboat Smith and Kid Norfolk. Despite the fact that he was a leading pretender to the Crown of the bulky Dempsey, the fight was never made – Greb publicly paired Dempsey, giving the master brutal beating before the crowd.

Finally, after 239 fights, Greb finally became the world medium champion, which he took for two years and 56 fights. Throughout his reign, he defeated the amazing Mickey Walker, the world champion with double weight (which Bert Sugar was among the 10 largest fighters of all time) in the most brutal 15-end war in the 1920s.

Apparently, the couple fought again on the streets later that evening. Two weeks later, Greb defeated one of the best bulky lights in history in Max Rosenbloom within 15 rounds. In the rematch he lost the title with the brilliant medium weight champion Tiger Flowers, winning the first fight, which brings another vital factor of Greb’s career assessment. He never drew a color line.

In the era in which black warriors were simply avoided because of the color of their skin, Greb gave many black era fighters, such as the Tiger Flowers, Kid Zulu, Kid Norfolk and Jack Blackburn, a chance to fight.

After defeating Flowers Greb, his priority was to ensure the safety of Flowers, waiting in front of his door to prevent racial attacks from irate fans, taking the master to his train and ensuring a safe and sound boarding.

After discussing his domination and success, it is worth noting that Greb was also one of the most arduous fighters who ever entered the ring. He was detained only twice in his entire career, one through KO only in his eighth fight Pro, and the other because of the broken arm. What makes Greb legend much fascinating is the fact that he has maintained the inhuman level of activity while dealing with so many grave injuries, but he never lost.

In the first half of his career, Greb suffered a broken hand twice, broken nose twice, broken arm, broken ribs, damage to the ankle ligament, multiple lips, cooking, which became infected, bulky flu, multiple cuts, an ear infection, ear infection, car Turkish bath.

He also had to remain inactive when he served in the navy in the First World War, and many other injuries took place in the second half of his career, in particular permanently blinded by one eye in the fight with the child Norfolk, which he kept secret, until the mystery he kept in the mystery Mystery of his death.

Greb has packed more in 32 years than many in many life, suffering from a great tragedy, losing many siblings and his wife, often called to see local problems in bars, avoiding bullets, when the gunslinger shot at his friends, allegedly grabbing Mob when they proposed, that he would bribe his fights and most famously driving like a maniac, which ultimately led to his fall.

After a car accident that broke his nose, Greb went to the hospital to receive a tiny nose surgery in the procedure that would take his life. He was only 32 years elderly. His great rival, Tiger Flowers, would die the following year, similarly because of the nose surgery at the age of 32.

Having one of the wildest lives of every Pugilist in such a tiny time, he also left heritage, which in my opinion was never exceeded and probably was never matched.

Greb’s victories over Hall of Famers and world champions are as follows:

Gene Tunney, Battling Levinsky 6x, Mickey Walker, Tiger Flowers, Jeff Smith 6X, Frank Moody, Jack Dillon 2x, Billy Myke, Mike O’Do 2x, Tommy Loughran 4x, Maxa Rosenbloom, Jack Blackburn, Mike McTigue 2x, Johnny Wilson 3x, Jakob Bartfield 3x, Bill Brennan 4x and Eddie McGorty. Winning 49 wins from 70 fights that would have against those who were mentioned above.
