I don't know if it's new but I just saw this, purchased it and really enjoying it .. Crossing The Color Line: Stanley Ketchel's Challenge for Jack Johnson's Heavyweight Crown by Vernon Gravely ..
I was sure I seen a Lloyd Marshall book somewhere a couple of years ago... I thought it was called Gloved Dynamite or something like that. But I began searching for it a few months back, with absolutely no luck. I must have seen another book or something that maybe mentioned Marshall(???). Anyone heard about it, or know if there is one on Lloyd?
I'm not aware of one ,Springs Toledo''s,"Murderers Row"is an excellent ,book dealing with the feared collection of Black fighters whom it refers to.Marshall has a nice feature in it.
No, it wasn’t a Marshall book. I forgot who, but someone cleared it up. Probably the most extensive writing on Marshall was in Springs Toledo’s excellent “Murderers Row.”
I’ll plug my own book. Just won the West Coast Boxing Hall of Fame “Book of the year” and has received great reviews and feedback thus far. Eder Jofre: Brazil's First Boxing World Champion https://www.amazon.com/dp/1949783057/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_FAS03SF50A1JRKP677J5 “Eder Jofre: Brazil's First Boxing World Champion is an intimate look into the life and spectacular career of South America's finest boxer, ranked by the International Boxing Research Organization as the greatest bantamweight of all-time. In the 1960s, Jofre went undefeated in his first 50 fights while earning global acclaim as the undisputed world bantamweight champion and the world's best pound-for-pound fighter. After losing his title and retiring for three years, he embarked on arguably the finest comeback in the annals of boxing history, going unbeaten in 25 fights and winning the world featherweight championship. Through intensive research, use of primary sources, and communication with the Jofre family, Eder Jofre's story is told like never before in this over-600-page biography, told for the first time in English.

The book contains fight-by-fight information on all 78 of Jofre's professional fights, in addition to round-by-round reports, pre-fight build-up, training and post-fight coverage, information on the background of the Jofre-Zumbano family, Jofre's personal life, and over 500 rare photographs.” —- Reviewed by Joe Kozumi https://fightnews.com/eder-jofre-brazils-first-boxing-world-champion/115117 By The Grueling Truth https://thegruelingtruth.com/boxing...ristopher-smiths-comprehensive-new-biography/
Spring's book was terrific .. I remember seeing a book , can't remember if it was on Marshall or Bivins, pretty short , ..still, looked interesting .. I'll double check ..
Thanks guys. yeah I knew about Spring's Toledo's book, but I'm sure I saw some Preview or Add or Prototype Cover or whatever it was on Marshall but couldn't find it again, there after... Maybe someone was setting out to write it and never completed it. I don't know but I'd sure like to read a well researched book on Marshall. one of my biggest regrets, I was in Sacramento in 1982, for a few nights, and many years later I found out Marshall lived there. Man had I known.
