They just don’t make them like Harry Greb anymore. Come to think of it, they probably didn’t make them like him before he came along either.

In 1919, he went 45-0 across the calendar year. He also beat 16 different International Boxing Hall of Famers throughout his career.

The 'Pittsburgh Windmill' was the definition of any man, any time, any place. He frequently gave away weight and was the only fighter to beat Gene Tunney, despite being outweighed by 12lbs.

Greb dodged bullets, drove cars recklessly and took on all comers. One of boxing’s most extraordinary characters, he died aged just 32 100 years ago.
