Dubbed "the Pittsburgh Windmill" because of his manic, freewheeling style in the ring, 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. Tragically, the indomitable fighter would be dead by the age of 32, felled by complications during minor surgery. This biography of one of the toughest boxers of all time includes interviews, family recollections, modern doctors' analyses of Greb's eye injury and more than 120 rare photographs, as well as a complete fight record and round-by-round descriptions of his most famous fights.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Weight: 483gAuthor: Bill PaxtonGenre: BiographyTopic: Sports & HobbiesISBN-10: 0786440163Item Height: 254mmItem Length: 178mmItem Width: 13mmRelease Year: 2009 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
