Fighters who should write a book?

has roberto duran done his own book yet. i read one written by a guy a few years ago. i think he was skeptic of duran.

there hasnt been one done of tommy hearns is well

 

people like tex cobb,witherspoon,buster douglas. would also be good if there was enuff public interest in journeymen like bobby crabtree,bruce the mouse strauss,dave jaco,ross purritty et al. these guys may not have been world beaters but i would bet there are some great stories to be told...

 

Tex Cobb...now you'd really get some laughs out of that book.

 

Reading John Garfield's posts has me convinced that we need definitive bio's on Willie Pep, Jake LaMotta and Rocky Graziano, just for openers. Each styled to best represent the man, each with the right balance of humor, inner tumult and righteous desire, and each written only by him. No BS John, nobody could do it like you.

 

we need a John Garfield book

 

I could light-up a room just by leaving, GP

 

Think I'll stop posting 'n keep re-reading this, Ck.

 

That's funny, you keep rereading mine while the rest of us on ESB keep searching and rereading yours!

 

i dont understand?

you better not stop posting

 

Denny Moyer !

 

Carlos Monzon

Jersey Joe Walcott

Sam Langford

Harry Greb

Sonny Liston (offcourse not by himself)

 

That's one that would be something. Unfortunately, Don was a notorious prevaricator - check out his story in Heller's book.

 

Cobb is a total trip. Freaky guy, funny as hell, with a laugh that you'd never forget in a 100 years. I'll never forget him bumming a smoke while getting his hands wrapped for a pro bout.

 

Personally, I wish Donald Curry would write one.
