1925 Exhibits, Harry Greb 🥊Middleweight World Champion
Good luck trying to find a presentable copy of this extremely scarce card of World Middleweight Champion, Harry Greb.
Harry Greb separates himself from nearly every other boxer in the quality and quantity of his opposition. He fought Hall of Famers and world champions repeatedly, including Gene Tunney, whom Greb famously defeated (and is widely regarded as the only man to beat Tunney at his best). The fact that he fought most of his fights blind in one eye only adds to his legacy.
In historical terms, Harry Greb is often called the greatest middleweight—or even the greatest pound-for-pound fighter of all time.
The fact that he fought in the pre-television era makes him a benchmark for true boxing greatness.
