What I know about Greb is that he was a very good fighter who was dirty and had a tendency to thumb people in the eye. He was the only man to batter Tunney and recently read that he missed out on a fight with Dempsey.
Grebs dirty tactics have been exaggerated over the years my friend. Unfortunately thumbing was a big part of the sport in those days because of glove design but Kid Norfolk was the king of intentional thumbing in fact he's the one that blinded Greb. Same with Langford. He was virtually blind in both eyes by the end of his career but managed to keep fighting because he memorized the eye chart.Quote:

Yup a routine operation. Its much harder to thumb today because of glove design.
Greb is and always will be my all time favourite fighter.
I thought it was a cosmetic operation because he was a bit sensitive about his looks.Quote:

Greb was in a car crash and fractured his nose.He never awoke from the anaesthetic.
Yeah wasn't he trying to get his breathing back normal in his nose to continue fighting?
Yes mate,but he slipped into a coma ,and passed away sadly.far too young.
Incredible that he fought so many fights with one eye,legend.
My bad. I thought he was vain but that is sad way for a legend to die.
