I was born Edward Henry Greb on June 6, 1894 in Pittsburgh (died October 22, 1926) to Pius and Annie Greb.
I was World Middleweight boxing Champion from 1923 to 1926 and American Light Heavyweight title holder 1922 - 1923.
I fought a recorded 299 times in his 13 year-career, against the best opposition the talent-rich 1920's could provide him, frequently squaring off against light-heavyweights and even heavyweights.
Many ring historians regard me to be one of the greatest pound-for-pound fighters in history - if not the greatest.Though no films of me in action are known to exist, contemporary accounts describe me as a highly aggressive, very fast, swarming style of fighter who buried his opponents under a blizzard of punches (the fact that I threw so many punches so quickly is the reason why I scored only 48 KOs in 299 recorded bouts - to land a punch with maximum power requires one to plant one's feet, to be momentarily still, something that 'the Human Windmill' rarely was in the ring).
I was also a master at dirty fighting and had no qualms about employing all manner of dubious tactics, such as spinning my opponent and using the heel and laces of my gloves.
I was also very durable, suffering only two stoppage losses, one a kayo defeat very early in my career and the other a retirement due to a broken arm.
