Why is there no ring film of Harry Greb?

[Dr. Z]

For a fighter of his caliber who fought in a filmed black and white era, you'd figure a man who has 9 wins over people in the hall of fame would be on film. Yet none are around today. Meanwhile there are plenty of films with others of the time. What gives? Greb was filmed a few times, most notably vs Walker. I think the most logical place is Pittsburgh in a private collectors hands.

While there is a training film, that's it.

If anyone would have film of him I would think you would, since you apparently have entire Harry Wills fights, right?


Maybe they promised not to release them like you did. . Right? lol

Queenie has all the Greb film in his collection of fights no one else has ever seen right next to the amateur Robinson-Pep bout.

Wills is easily found on film. One can see him vs Firpo and Madden, and short clips vs Uzundun.

Lol, what you don't know about boxing can fill an ocean. No charge. By the way there is more film on Wills not shown in this thread. To the rest of you enjoy the below link if you have not seen it. I find Wills a little slow handed and not quite the puncher history makes him out to be. Defense is so so.



Now that our wanna be resident historian has been dismissed I'd like to talk about Greb. Does anyone have any ideas as to why no film on him exists?

[Marchegiano]

There's a fella on ESB who swears he has Greb on film in his fight collection, but, also swears he gets off knowing others can't view it so probably just a joker. Closest I ever got to a Greb film.

That's not in any way related to what I said.

You claimed you have the full Firpo fight. Let's see it! I bet you're full of shlt


Stop telling lies. You're one of the worst posters here. Duck duck duck.



I'll trade you: the full Harry Wills vs. Firpo fight for Greb vs. Tunney. Deal


You obviously tell lies about boxers you don't like for whatever reason. Disgraceful. Only thing is I can't figure out why you don't like Wills. I'm sure that you were talking up him supposedly ducking Godfrey because Tunney ducked Godfrey, but that's another story, right? lol

Dude I just stepped on you face down in the mud. Did you enjoy the Wills footage?

Like I said you need help and remain a liar assuming I could not show it.

Your the liar here, not I. Stop tying to be funny, you do not own Greb vs Tunney I or any Greb vs. Tunney fight in the series.

Just let me know which fight you'd like to see and if you agree to a permeant ban, with your IP address nuked, and with no 2nd, 3rd or any other account here and I just might show it to rid the forum of you ******ity. Deal, or are you going to run away even further? Quack, Quack, Quack.

PS: Are you ever going to tell me who in your option were Johnson's tree best victories? I think your scared to among other things.

How did you own me when I already told you that the only thing they have was a few rounds of the Firpo fight. LMAOO

Come on, bruh. How many minutes of the Firpo fight did you see?

If you have these full fights, post them up, because I've only managed to see edited pieces of two rounds against Firpo. In fact, I remember these three fights, along with training footage, all being packaged into 11 minutes. And mind you, Wills was 34-37 in these fights.
.

Now give us the full Wills vs. Firpo fight. I'll be waiting.

You aren't fooling anyone, son. You're a disgrace.


Ps. Why do you keep asking the same question I've answered about 5 times now? You have a weird way of ducking. Best wins: Lanford, McVey, Jeannette. Now that makes 6 times I've answered. Now let's get that full Firpo Wills footage

I seriously doubt, that some collector is in possession of a Greb fight. The emergence of ANY of his fights on film, would be tantamount to finding life on another planet - it would be extremely difficult to sit on a secret that big for years and years!

Its definitely uncanny. All those fights... The logical place to start would be to figure out if any outfit was taping any of those fights... I wonder if anyone ever did that?
