Harry Greb
Edward Henry "Harry" Greb (June 6, 1894 – October 22, 1926) was an American professional boxer. Nicknamed "The Pittsburgh Windmill", he is widely regarded by many boxing historians as one of the best pound-for-pound boxers of all time. He was the American light heavyweight champion from 1922 to 1923 and the world middleweight champion from 1923 to 1926. He fought a recorded 298 times in his 13-year career, which began at around 140 pounds. Not only that, but he fought against the best opposition the talent-rich 1910s and 20s could provide him and despite starting as a welterweight, he was frequently squaring off against and beating light heavyweights and even heavyweights. Sean & Johnston tell the story of the legendary middleweight king who would go down in boxing folklore with his amazing feats inside and out of the ring. Learn more about your ad choices.
