burt bienstock please write a book

Thanks for the advice BUD, but I already wrote a book before called,
" My brother was an only child " . I am now working on another mystery book,to be called " Murder in a pretzel factory ". It's a story with a new twist...atsch

 

Just dont be writing any joke books

 

A book on boxing from Burt would be an excellent idea,though.

 

Thanks BUD, but I'm no writer, nor historian of boxing. Just a guy who's been around quite a spell in boxing ,seen it all and likes to share anecdotes of boxing events i have experienced. Take care B...

 

I enjoy your tales of ike williams the most :good

 

Yes,but your anecdotes are worthy of a book,Burt.

 

Yep Luf, Ike Williams at his best was rated just under Welterweight Ray Robinson in the 1940s. He was marvelous as a lightweight,but to get fights Ike had to fight over the 135 lightweight limit. But at lightweight and not under wraps Ike was a sight to behold. His bouts with the prime Bob Montgomery [tough S.O.B.] and young Beau Jack, along with the much avoided Freddie Dawson brought out the best in Williams. His career started to go downhill when Ike defy'd the managers guild of that time,and he was blackballed from good matches. But oh my, Ike was great...Cheers...

 

Quality stuff as always

 

If Dempsey was still alive, you'd have no trouble finding a financing party for it.

 

Burt, when Googling the combination of words:

eastsideboxing ron lyle elmer ray

-two of your posts in a pair of threads comparing them are the top two hits, something I'm mindful of in the wake of Big Ron's passing.

That's an apparently unique analogy for aficionados of boxing history to draw upon, something more than a colorful nickname and a few still photographs could provide. (Are you aware of anybody else who made that connection, or even could have drawn that comparison?)

 

He should write a book about his alien abduction, which sadly saw him miss out on 50years of boxing

 

'Dem aliens spoke really high of Dempsey though, and they saw him fight, unlike us!



....... Sorry Burt, I couldn't resist I do really appreciate your contributions and stories.

 

burt does have a very readable, unique style of writing. He's a character, you know its his stuff when you see it

 

You know something Burt? I , for 1 , would think that a book of this nature would be a breath of fresh air. No big build-up or back story, just a series of anecdotes relating to 1 mans experiences watching the game over a period of 60yrs. Maybe a chapter to each decade, and a foreword from our own Henry Hascupp endorsing it.



You never know, JG could pull a few strings in Tinseltown for the big screen version
