    Worth buying/checking out? I'm seriously considering picking up a copy, it's priced pretty solidly at 20 on amazon and i figure it's worth getting.

    Way worth it.

    And if I don't say so Clay will start badgering me.

    (Seriously, great read and much needed addition to the boxing library.)

    This is the closest thing you will get to a career boxed set of Sam Langfords fights.

    Get this book - one of the best - clay comes on here now and again too - he's a good guy - and his book is one of the best - a fitting tribute to one of the greatest fighters period.

    I found the detail on Langford's career and individual fights pretty astounding.
