    I got the McLarnin one that came out last year, was quite a good read.

    We need a new Henry Armstrong one to be honest

    Don't know. Was the last one thorough enough? I didn't read it I admit. But I do know that JJ knew Jimmy personally, so this could make it interesting.

    It was pretty good, not great, very even-handed.

    But it focused closely on the relationship between the two...i'm not sure what else there is to say. Of course, new writing on boxing should always be encouraged, it's just unfortunate we have two high profile efforts on the same fighter back to back.
