    Live Fast, Die Young: The Life and Times of Harry Greb

    Hi Guys,

    I just wanted to announce that my book on Greb is finally going to be released in June. It is 697 pages, has 553 photos (several of which have never been published), 1308 footnotes, and an appendix that includes Greb's complete record including amateur bouts, professional bouts, service bouts, and exhibitions. It is the most complete fighting record ever published for Greb and records W/L newspaper decisions based on which way the majority of ringside reports voted (no wire reports have been used which should add to the accuracy of the record). Retail Price is going to be either $39.95 or $44.95 depending on whether the book ends up being printed as either a 6x9 or 7x10. It is the culmination of 11 years of work and I really think fans of boxing and history in general will enjoy it. There is a ton of contextual material on Greb's opponents and what was going on in the sport during his career particularly in the middleweight, light heavyweight, and heavyweight divisions. I will post back here again as the release date gets closer.

              I think it was a message board on houseofboxing.com(?). I used to send you fight programs and in return you sent me boxing video tapes. Pretty sure the screen name was the same.

                Oh yes I remember that very well! Houseofboxing was a great forum. You got me some great programs and even some autographs.

                  I would be interested in learning more about this fighter, as he's considered not only one of the best pound for pound of all time from what I've read here, but also to have one of the best resumes of all time and that there's unfortunately no surviving or found filmed footage of any of his fights so I would be interested to at least see photos of his fights. Be sure to let us know when this is released.

                    It is time for a major book on Greb to come out. I hope this is followed by a major documentary and that you make yourself a mint.
