Harry Greb
“Prizefighting ain’t the noblest of arts and I ain’t the noblest artist.”
- Harry Greb
Edward Henry "Harry" Greb (June 6, 1894 – October 22, 1926) was an American professional boxer. Nicknamed "The Pittsburgh Windmill", he was the American light heavyweight champion from 1922 to 1923 and world middleweight champion from 1923 to 1926.
He fought a recorded 298 times in his 13 year-career, which began at around 140 pounds. He fought against the best opposition the talent-rich 1910s and 20s could provide him, frequently squaring off against light heavyweights and even heavyweights.
Widely considered one of the best fighters of all time, Greb was named the 7th greatest fighter of the past 80 years by the Ring Magazine, the 5th greatest fighter of all-time by historian Bert Sugar and ranked as the #1 middleweight and the #2 pound-for-pound fighter of all-time by the International Boxing Research Organization.
Statistical boxing website BoxRec lists Greb as the #3 ranked middleweight of all-time and the 8th greatest pound-for-pound fighter ever.

Gennady Golovkin Knockouts - Gennady Golovkin vs Sergey Khomitsky
This is one of the better examples of GGG boxing really well. Less of the Mexican style, all pressure fighting... seek and destroy...
GGG shows a methodical, boxer-puncher style that demonstrates his varied skills.

Hugman's History of World Championship Boxing
Hugman's History of World Championship Boxing
Boxing’s greatest historian Barry Hugman
SIR WINSTON
CHURCHILL took 19 years from 1937 to 1956 to complete his four-volume
masterpiece A History of the English-Speaking Peoples.
But compared to Barry Hugman, the eminent boxing historian, our greatest Prime Minister wrote at breakneck speed.
Barry has just published four volumes of the definitive History of World Championship Boxing and it has taken him no less than 30 YEARS.
His monumental project begins in 1870, when boxers first wore gloves and ends in October 2016.
He was determined to produce a work that would be acclaimed worldwide.
Barry reckons that before he reached the final full-stop, he had spent nearly £500,000.
To get all the relevant information he needed, he visited every one of America’s 50 State libraries.
And Barry went so often to the biggest of them all — the Library of Congress in Washington DC — he ended up being on first-name terms with the staff. He spent days poring over newspaper cuttings and microfilm that spanned centuries and thousands of fights. The result is the most comprehensive study of every world championship battle held over 146 years.
So it isn’t surprising that the four volumes — each costing £24.99 — runs to two million words and a total of 1900 pages.
Barry, 74, is a lifelong boxing addict.
A more-than-useful amateur, he boxed for London’s Finchley ABC, the club that discovered Anthony Joshua.
Barry told me: “Though I regarded it as a labour of love, my infatuation has cost me a fortune.
“But I enjoyed every minute and to think boxing people will be using my work as a reference long after I’ve gone gives me enormous satisfaction.”
Barry Hugman’s four-volume History of World Championship Boxing is available on Amazon.
