The original Jack Dempsey, Joe Choynski. Tommy Ryan, Kid Mccoy and Stanley Ketchel were the five finest mtddleweishts of all time, Harry Greb at least comes next. Greb is the present champion. He is no more like the great battlers of bygone days than q Corot landscape Is reminiscent of a burlesquc show bill poster.
 Greb is different" Of all the freaks the game has ever known the Pittsburgh windmill, aptly namod. is the freakiest. Grob hasn't a single punch in his rcpertory, He tells you that himself.
 I've got good swing though" he adds, "A left swing to The body that seems 10 hurt the boys"
 Old-tjmers used to marvel at Abe Attoll, featherweight champion. Abe would sit up all night drawing to full houses and then go out the next day and take on tough lghtweights like Tommy Murphy over the 20- round route.
 Greb is much like that. Some months ago Greb was matched 10 meet Tiger Flowers. Georgia south paw. at Fremont, 0. The Tiger Is a dangerous coored gent, as he has just proved to Johnny Wilson. The Tiger was in their to win that fight. 4 lot of smart money was riding on him. A knockout would make him champion.
 Greb was tipped of. It worried the champion to such an extent that he did all his training riding around the country in all antomo- bile. Creb likes g good time. II fighting Iuterferes with his pleasure he stops fighting,
 Wonder Legs Garry Greh Through
 Greb's legs make him great. They are durable, speedy and powerful, They carry him forward and back ward with incredible swiftness. This accounts for his ability 10 hit quick ly and gct away without being hit.
 George Engle managed Greb into the championship. Engle is no longer connected with Greb but he has nothing bu, admiration for him.
 "Greb is the strongest fighter l ever saw" Engle tells you. and one of the greatest, He is the only fight CT in tn" world who starts one punch, changes his mind and de- livers another. He will start a right, then s7ltch n left, or just the TO. verse. And not once win he miss No opponent can figure Greb. No man agrr can figure him. He can't figure himself.
 "Greb was under me the night he whipped Tommy Gibbons The re- suit was tremendous surprise Gibbons had always beaten Greb. In this fight l made Grcb stand up straightcr. shoot his punches straighter and fight clean. Greb likes to rought rt but he is a better fighter when he does not ignore the rules Gibbons Had Grcb Out on His Feet
 Engle says Gibbons had Greb out on his feet in the second round by vHs fooled hy Greb's acting Gibbons got home terrific left hook and 1t shook Greb to the toes. Instead of going into d rIinch or backing away Greb began 10 dance up and down and smile.
 Gihbons stood stul to enjoy the spectacle, l. cost him the fight Greh's bean soon cleared and then he came on to ri>c the St. Paul harp one Of the worst whippings he ever got.
 Grcb has always wanted to meet Dempsey. and many experts believe it would he q real fight. Greh never had any troutle against big fellows. He heat Miske, Madden, Levinsky Roper, Weinert, Norfolk, Gunhost Smith and Gene Tunney, Firpo could not knock out Homer Smith. Greb did it with his left swing.
