5 legendary fighters you've probably never heard of

Jack Johnson taking on Tommy Burns for the World Heavyweight Championship
The one and only, Harry Greb

#1 Harry Greb

The art of boxing has a long history, much longer than MMA and so it makes sense that it has produced a wide variety of legendary figures throughout eras. Greb is no different and in fact should be better known for the career he amassed in the early 1990’s. Greb was ranked #7 on Ring Magazine’s top boxers in the last 80 years list for good reason.

The “Pittsburgh Windmill” carries an incredibly impressive record for his generation of 299 fights over the course of 13 years - a time period where other athletes hardly fought any more than 45 times in their entire careers. He was known for his speed, durability, stamina and fluidity in movement.

The best part about this is, he had vision problems early on in his career, yet still continued to compete at a consistent rate successfully. Greb fought in 4 different weight classes over the course of his career becoming the American light heavyweight champion from 1922 to 1923 and world middleweight champion from 1923 to 1926.
