Great Boxers without a Biography

Packey McFarland and Sandy Saddler.

 

I’d love to read one on Packey!

 

Perhaps one on Jack Broughton? I believe he was the biggest star in bare knuckle boxing in the 1730s-40s

 

I need all the information on Sandy that exists.

 

Midget Wolgast and Fighting Harads don’t have books I’m pretty sure. Same as Canto. I think Harada might but I’m pretty sure he doesn’t.

Edit: FH features in a few like Lords of the Ring.

 

Is there a book on Maxie Rosenbloom?

 

Fritzie Zivic needs a bio badly. He may not have been great in the Ring but Chuck Wiggins would be a interesting read.
Kid Norfolk
Kid Pambele
Rodrigo Valdez
Gene Fullmer
A better one on both Joey Giardello and Dick Tiger.
Chavez
Honestly just too many to list for me as I like to read

 

Barbados Joe Walcott needs doing.

 

I agree with Zivic,

I'd say Joe Bowker's story would be great, if someone could represent his pre & post ring life accurately and of course his career, based on actual reports and not just anecdotes. A lot of Bio's do too much of that. Everything needs to be crossed referenced with Actual contemporary reports.

but the one that would interest me the most, would be Lloyd Marshall, again as above, but also really nailing down his Mob ties, 'IF' any, and his knowledge of corruption and Boxing B.S as a result of such influences. Of course, a lot of that would be off the record & hearsay, however it adds to what is already known and repeated and report by other such claims.

 

I would like a book on Jack Chase, Maxie Rosenbloom and Jose Napoles.
