Old time fighters who need the benefit of a good biography

From the little i've read, Battling Siki had quite an eventful life.

 

What book is that Greg?

 

He's definitely one fighter I'd like to read a good biography of.

Anyone know if there's any good Ad Wolgast or Kid McCoy bios out there? :good

 

a few years back Stallone's brother Frank was supposedly going to do a documentary on Wolgast, email him and ask.

He showed an interest in Gilroy too, that's how I know about Wolgast!

 

There's this McCoy biography:

mcvey your very insightful wise. why dont we hear more about the guys you name. they all couldnt have been boring people and all were great great fighters thanks keep writing here.:good

 

POOR MAN'S OUT, a thinly-veiled bio of Charley Zivic, his dad, a rugged top middleweight contender in the '40s who beat some of the best, with barely any use of his right arm 'n poor vision in one eye.

 

I don't know if it's any good yet, but I recently picked up "Sweet William" by Andrew O'Toole at a bookstore that's going out of business. It's normally $33 hardcover, but they were running a 30% off clearance plus my 10% member discount so it was a more than reasonable snatch. I'll let you know how it is. :good

 

I loved that book. Thought it was great.

 

Cheers for that :good

 

Thanks for the info, thistle and Rasch :thumbsup

 

Thanks John, I'll be looking that one up.

 

I second that S. Sweet William was a great book, because it was a book about a GREAT character and fighter ,Billy Conn. Billy had it all. Looks, charisma, and sheer toughness....:good

 

Appreciate your interest, Al. You can find it here http://www.cityglowpublishing.com/poor-mans-out or on Amazon.

 

Thank Chinx, i'm looking forward to reading it.
