    Is it any good? I'm starting to read more books on fighters I find interesting, Frazier's one of my favorites, so is it worth reading? Also, are there any good books on Stanley Ketchel or Sam Langford? Or at least books that devote some time to discussing them?[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]

    I read it, and I thought it was pretty good. But some of it was biased, though you can't really blame him.

    I think it is a good read. Definitely worth reading for anyone with an interest in Frazier. I think it is informative, straight talking and honest.

    Also check out Mark Kram's 'Ghosts of Manilla' for a revisionist view of Ali and Frazier.
