Career Profiles - 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.
