    I meant to post this a long time ago.
    Clay Moyle's book on Sam Langford .It's really excellent, thoroughly researched with plenty of quotes, 400 pages chock full of information about the great Langford.Highly recommended!

    Cool, I need a book on Langford.

    Would you say this is the best book for someone who wants an in depth look at his boxing style and his fights?

    Its the only one I've read that was solely about him, but I'm very satisfied with it.

    I second this. Really liked Moyle's book on Miske, too.

    The Miske book is even better, I think.
