    Bob Moha had no neck. I'm sure he would advise Greb against getting rid of his neck.

    I just wish there was available film footage of Greb in action. I can't believe there isn't any available footage of him.

    The legendary Pittsburgh Windmill. There is no fighter that I love more than Harry Greb. Thanks a lot to the thread starter for keeping our hero alive!

    And they call him great. He ducked Joe Louis too with the claim that he was dead... What a cherry picker.
