'How to Wrestle' - Instructions of Frank Gotch 1934

Better than Hulk Hogan???

 

Quite unique to see the best boxer built bigger than the best wrestler. Then again, in those days, wrestling was an important aspect of boxing, and Willard was quite an anomaly.

 

Gotch was a real wrestler,whether he was better than Hackenshmidt,Thesz,Zybyszko,I dont know , but I would bet he was better than that bottle blond Hogan.

When I was a kid the Boxing Illustrated had a wrestling section, this guy with Jeffries was allways in it ,
very balletic and skillful showman.
Hows the book coming?

 

Yes if possible.

I give the edge to Gotch because his opponents were making a sincere effort to win.

 

Didn't Gotch try professional boxing as well?
