    Thanks for the heads up!

    You can pre-order it on Amazon right now. Says it will be out April 1st.

    Looks like a quality offering--great cover.

    Speaking of this author...Has anyone read "Peerless" ?
    I was curious if it was good (?)

    Thanks for the info! I will get my hands on this soon for sure. Did anyone read "Fight or Die" the Vinny Paz story. I read the whole thing over a two day period in Barnes and Nobles in Staten Island, NY. Written by a childhood friend of the Pazman. Good read. Anyway, I have the Frazier, Shavers, Norton bios in my collection and will be adding this Hearns book too. I'm gonna go on amazon.com now and see if I can order it as the previous poster said it is out now. Thanks again.

    Hearns beat Leonard, was cheated by criminal judges.

    I find boxing books on fighters who had little to say or had little influence on his times to be flat and boring ... Hearns was a warrior but I see little new ground in a book .. what are we going to learn ? Sit up totals pre-Leonard one or how many women he screwed in his youth ?
