New Book - In the Ring With James J. Jeffries

You book on Sullivan dramaticaly changed opinions among many people on this site and probably shifted the consensus in his favour. Adam Pollack is the founder of Sullivans new internet army.

Without wanting to demand to much detail do you see the Jeffries book shifting perceptions of him?

I have made predictions to other posters about what I think the overall effect of the book will be.

 

I have heard nothing negative about Mr Pollack .Hopefully the "proof will be in the pudding".

 

I suspect that when the dust settles it will apear that Corbett was probably ahead on the cards, but by a narrow margin that could perhaps be argued the other way.

 

I don't want to give anything away. What I will tell you is that the Corbett I fight was held at Coney Island's Seaside Athletic Club in Brooklyn, New York, and I offer the insights and opinions of the local next-day newspaper reporters who attended the fight, including the New York Journal, New York World, New York Sun, New York Times, New York Tribune, Brooklyn Daily Eagle, National Police Gazette, New York Clipper, New York Herald, as well as the opinions of Bob Fitzsimmons, Kid McCoy, John L. Sullivan, Tom Sharkey, James Jeffries, Jim Corbett, the referee, and Bill Brady, etc. It is all there laid out for you to review and consider, same way you might review multiple opinions on a fight that just took place today.

 

For those who like old time boxing the Brooklyn Daily Eagle gets my endorsement as on of the best free archives out there.

For those who have never read any of Adam's books, they are excellent. Extremely well-researched. If you're into boxing history, well worthy purchasing.

 

This looks most interesting; I'll be certain to check it out.
Thank you as well for writing it of course and adding more to the sport.

 

Just ordered it from Amazon the other day ... very much looking forward to it ! Adam has managed to carve his own distinctive niche in sports publishing and I am very happy about it. Terrific bodies of work so far and I'm sure Jeffries will be as good or better ... now if there is any way to convince him to do one on Johnson and the surrounding era of Black Dynamite I'd be thrilled. His work is so definative, distinctive and unique previous works on Johnson are irrelevant. Maybe throw in Hart and Burns if it makes sense as I cannot imagine them each getting their own work but who knows ... fiull me in Adam, what's next ?

 

he's working on marvin hart as well.

 

I would be interested in Hart and Burns.

 

I have never seen a book with Hart being the primary focus.

When Hart won the decision over Johnson in a lack luster fight, Jeffries said he would fight Hart if the public wanted to see it.

 

But the public didn't,which is just as well for Hart imo.Jeffries would have stopped him, imo.

 

K, I agree w you but let's get real, this is not 100% work dedicated to make zero money. I'd ba amazed if such a book could stand alone.

 

Consider me a purchaser. Thanks for the effort.
