    hh , it was only a matter of time...
    Ken Overlin was a hell of a fighter...Beat a young Ezzard Charles at
    middleweight...He was a busy fighter moving, and throwing punches
    ala Harry Greb...He was called 'the poor man's Harry Greb", but Overlin
    was quoted as saying , he was convinced that Harry Greb would have licked me and any contender of my time,on the same night with no rest
    in between...I have that quote, and it shows the high esteem the
    Pittsburgh Windmill was held,by his peers and successors...But Ken
    Overlin was a hell of a fighter in his own right !!!
