Holmes is a difficult one to gauge. He started late, fought low quality fighters for a few years, and then immediately was propelled to the top...
Limiting myself to things boxers do or say within the boxing world and excluding personal lives (looking for model citizenry among boxers seems a...
Speaking of Pollack, anyone know why it seems like some of the best boxing books are either vanity published or published by the tiniest...
