What Boxers deserve a Biography?

Bill Detloff confirmed Saad, Steve Brookes released the cover and confirmed the Hagler one (he is the ghost writer) and the Lopez one was somebody asking me about finding further information on Lopez and access to him since he was in the early planning stages of the research.

 

I hope whoever is writing the Saad book had the resources to do the necessary legwork. That's the kind of book that would benefit from dozens of interviews of the people in Philly who knew him in his early days and on the way up (while some of them are still alive).

 

Thanku very much
I had read somewhere that Lopez wasnt in the best mental health. Do you have any info on that?

 

Harada is my absolute favourite boxer I am ecstatic to hear that! can you do me a little solid and find out anything about his train routine?

 

The best picks so far.

 

He’s slowing down for sure after a tough career. Lives happily with his childhood sweetheart but a little slower with his speech nowadays sadly.

 

Yes, I know he used to run 15 miles every day in training. He was trained by Takeshito Sasazaki who had fought Tsueneo “Poison” Horiguchi, a famous Asian featherweight champion from WAY back and Sasazaki admired Poison a lot so taught him a lot of his moves. Harada didn’t really have any “idols” he worked really hard. Didn’t think he was as talented as Aoki or Ebihara coming up but trained harder. He trained his legs and footwork a lot because he knew that his training, stamina, ability to throw at rapid speed were massive advantages so having strong legs and nice footwork would enable him to use his strengths.

He loved roadwork.

 

Ok I thought it was worse thank God it's not. A long time ago HBO real sports did a peice on him and Chacon. It was very good. It's on YouTube but quality is poor

 

Battling Siki.
Legend has it he walked the streets of New York with a Tiger.

 

Did Saad ever find his family?
