Adam seems done with his series. I haven't heard anything from Moyle. Was Compton doing anything after his epic Greb book? Anybody heard anything to look forward to?
Harry Otty wrote a book on the Houge brothers that seems to have gone unnoticed. I don’t believe it’s new but I’ve never heard anyone talk about it, his Burley book however gets plenty of good press.
Does John Ochs still write on boxing? That Jack Hurley trilogy was top level and didn't seem to get much attention.
Currently reading the newer Louis vs Conn book along with Dempsey part 2. Dempsey book is extremely detailed while the Louis book has some new insight from both Louis and Conn's sons. New book out on Armstrong if anyone has it I'd like to hear there opinion.
Hey I’m currently putting together a book on the Heavyweight division looking at fantasy fights, I have been posting some fights in the forums normally to positive feedback books releasing in May Let me know if you have a request for a Heavyweight showdown and I’m more than happy to share here
Thanks, Seamus. Those were the eras (1915-1970) that held my interest for all my life. I threw everything I knew into those books. I'm no marketeer or career writer or a person trying to make a big splash as a boxing expert. The topics interested me and I wanted to learn more about them, and I find that the discipline that serious, thoughtful writing demands is the best way to do that. That's why I wrote them. If other people are interested enough to read them, fine. If not, that's fine too. They are out there. I might write an article here and there or maybe not, but no more books. The books are about more than Jack Hurley and his fighters. They really are histories of boxing from 1915 to 1970 from the perspective of one boxing promoter/manager/trainer/publicist.
