    Louis of the bivins fight isnt even close. He was shot but still had a good active jab and could punch if he cornered you. Bivins had a lot more in the tank but he just ran and ran. You cant watch that fight without realizing that bivins Louis pre or durinf ww2 isnt even competetive. Bivins gets crushed or runs and gets widely outpointed. For me the most shot fighter is prob benitez in his late fights. Very sad.

    Jerry Quarry vs Ron Cramer was a crime.

    true!!!!
    I enjoyed reading hard luck about Jerry Quarry, the title sums him up.
    Imagine him in another era, the 50s for instance??

    Imagine if he could have avoided his father. The fact that his father used him that way makes it all the more tragic.

    I agree it was a good read. I'm looking for another. I read OFF THE ROPES about Ron Lyle and was underwhelmed and a Joe Frazier tome by Casey Evans and am shocked it was published! Please let me know if you find something worthwhile.
