Floyd Patterson, Archie Moore, Sugar Ray Robinson,
Virgil Akins, Joe Brown, Hogan Kid Bassey,

The Alley Fighter story was about HARRY GREB/
the most interesting line was:
"For 13 savage years he took on the world's best fighters,
and licked them all. Not bad for a man that was nearly blind."
Another good line related to one of Greb's bouts with Gene Tunney:
"In their first exchange of blows, in the opening round
Harry Greb broke Tunney's nose in two places, and blood
began to pour from it like wine from a bottle
