That's what I say,pound per pound wrote: ↑07 Nov 2020, 18:41It sure looks like Greb, and it's likely a famous person juding by the crowds. Good find.Caractacus wrote: ↑11 Jan 2016, 15:59 The man seen here hitting the tetherball on the beach at 1:00 ?
because why would a group of beach-goers
just suddenly gather around some regular "Shlub" hitting a tether-ball around ?
he had to have been someone famous for them to wanna do that..

Re: Could this (possibly) be new film footage of Harry Greb ?
check out the "cameo" of what looks to be a professional boxer in thE film
BATTLING BUTLER ( released August 1926 ).
at about 1:O7.13 of the film.
I aint sying it's Harry Greb, but I get the feeling seen them somewhere else before.

seroiusly, that person does look really familiar.
I think I've seen his photogaph in a History of Boxing book somewhere,
if it isn't Harry Greb, could it be Johnny Dundee ?

There's not that much to do.
Crowds of thousands will emerge from their boarding houses and charge down the beach if word goes out that a dog is fighting a crab.

Gene Tunney would have never lost their first fight in 1922, if Greb hadn't butted open
the gash Tunney had gotten in training.

Is
The man seen here hitting the tetherball on the beach at 1:00 Harry Greb ?
Can you prove that part of the clip, wasn't filmed at Coney Island ?
