Harry Greb

[JudgeDredd]

Nat Fleischer said that Greb was the best thing he'd ever seen in the ring, & remember he'd seen Armstrong & Robinson.

Not hard to believe given the guys that Greb beat and how he beat them.

No but he doesn't get the recognition he deserves, he regularly beat top heavyweights, o.k the heavyweights were smaller than they are today, but even so......

This is whatI always say to Greb detractors. They say, "Look at the training films." I say, "How do you say a man who destroyed Gene Tunney is nothing special?" Just read the account of the Walker fight. I have seen Walker fight. I have seen Tunney fight. Greb in the ring must have been something to behold.

Jack Dempsey

The fastest fighter I ever saw. Hell. Greb is faster than (lightweight champion) Benny Leonard.”

Gene Tunney
“He was never in one spot for more than half a second,”
“All my punches were aimed and timed properly but they always wound up hitting empty air''.

''He'd jump in and out, slamming me with a left and whirling me around with his right or the other way around. My arms were plastered with leather and although I jabbed, hooked and crossed, it was like fighting an octopus.”
