Harry Greb...any comparisons stylewise?

Harry Carpenter said jack kid berg preceded henry armstrong in the all action human dynamo style. Greb or armstrong they are both compliments.

 

There is one fighter I HAVE seen many times who was even more of a dynamo than Jackie Kid Berg, and was the most aggressive lightweight I ever saw, PERIOD. His name was Beau Jack, and if Kid Berg and Beau Jack
ever hooked up at their bests, Oh My...

 

Burt , Beau Jack is one of those fighters that I wish there was loads of film of . he is the stuff of legend he doesn't really make top ten lists when it comes to his division but at his best I can't see him being anything but a total nightmare for any lightweight that has lived. He had what berg lacked a real KO blow and his strength was also supposed to be great .If there is any fighter that I would rather see an depth book about I honestly can't think of one

 

I've never seen Greb.

 

Mr B, not to be redundant but I have been watching fighters since the 1940s and no fighter I ever saw was more action packed than the prime Beau Jack. Hooks, crosses, bolo punches, uppercuts, came steaming from Beau Jack. Not for nothing did he sell out the old MSG SEVEN times in one year...Too darn bad the only film of his was the fight with the great Ike Williams I as a lad traveled to Philly to see. Beau was a fading fighter by that time and took a horrendous beating...My very first pro card I saw with my dad featured young Beau Jack at St Nick's Arena...I saw him later on many, many times against the likes of Henry Armstrong, Ike Williams,
Bob Montgomery, Al Bummy Davis, etc, and he along with the young
Rocky Graziano were my absolute action fighters...

 

You can't compare him to anyone, he had a uniquely unorthodox style that simply cannot be replicated.

 

Jackson Pollack.

 

Bump
I would imagine Greb's style was somewhat similar to that of Michael Spinks and Joe Calzaghe.

 

Ken Overlin and Johnny Dundee got comparisons to him. Here's footage:

Yes,

Yes, a more physical version of Calzaghe is the closest I can think of to describe how I picture him in my minds eye, based on what I've read about Greb.
