Description: "Dubbed "the Pittsburgh Windmill" because of his manic, freewheeling style in the ring, Harry Greb also crossed racial lines, taking on all comers regardless of color. An injury in the ring led to Greb's gradually going blind in one eye and should have ended his career, but he kept his condition secret and fought on"--Provided by publisher.
