classic boxing pictures

Years ago in an old Ring Question and answer column,Nat Fleischer who saw both many times was asked "how long woulkd it take for Sam Langford to catch up to Harry Greb and ko him "? . Fleischer answered I don't believe Langford could ever catch up to Greb and ko him ". No one ever did in over 275 bouts...A whirling dervish was Greb...

This is what Mickey says about the fight - "He could hit from impossible angles. Once, after Harry missed a right to my face, he spun all the way around so that his back faced me. I relaxed my guard and waited for him to turn around. But before I knew what was happening, his left was stuck in my mouth. I still don't know how he did it, but he hit me while his hands faced in the opposite direction."

 

You can really see how brutal this fight was here

Man, his hand look ****ed up.

Look like arthritic old grandpa hands. No wonder he threw for volume rather than power.
