    I'd buy the ever-loving **** out of that book were it to ever be written and/or published. Probably not immediatly, but I'd definitely get around to it.

    I would buy the book for sure. John Garfield has forgotten more about boxing than most people ever learn. He's one of the posters that I always learn from.

    I'd hate to owe you money, s.

    You must be very proud; after reading the thread, my wife and daughter have increased the needling.

    MdwC's suggested I do a book about Carlos Monzon -- which does spark my interest.

    Have you guys any other suggestions?

    Yes John, you have to write. Begin with Monzon if it has sparked your interest.

    BUT DO WRITE!

    Dont want a book on boxing or a bio boxing, but on Garfiled's own meetings with the greats.
    Like him watching Marciano spar, or meeting the legends when they are old like Jack Dempsey.
