    Its either 'Dempsey' by him and his wife, 'Manassa Mauler' by Randy Roberts, 'Flame of Pure Fire' by Roger Kahn or theres another called 'Massacre in the Sun' by Bob Considine I think

    'The Fight' by Norman Mailer is a good read, although i wouldn't recommend it if you're not a fan of Mailer's style, which consumes this book.

    This one was very good. Lupe Pintor comes across as a proper class act in it.
