    This is a great one!, there are so many great fighters spoken about and no footage exists. So to learn about their styles in good detail would be a very interesting read indeed!.

    Sounds good, looking forward to reading it. I like the sound of the reformed fight stories derived from multiple sources.

    Sounds great, although such a book would have several hundred pages...not a bad thing, just saying.

    I personally like the idea of a bunch of short stories, no more than a page or maybe two at most, per story.
    There's thousands of boxing tales just waiting to be written.

    I think we've all been pretty entertained by John Garfield's stories, and those of Bigcat and others.
    Stuff like that in one volume would be great.

    yeh them short stories are great.

    Read Angelo Dundees: a view from the corner book it has lots of these great stories

    :yep

    heard hes a complete ***** and probably wouldnt give a ****

    that would take a whole 600 million volumes to cover

    Of course it's been written already but A. Pryor's book is quite a read....he really opens up admitting things that VERY few men would.
