I like your idea of what a boxing book should be,mr Dettloff and I agree so how about you and me writing the ultimate boxing book about The Ultimate Fighter, Sugar Ray Robinson, Google Harry Wiley’s trainer that’s who my dad was and I’ve got the story the real behind the scenes boxing story that the other people haven’t written about, please get in touch with me!203-671-7040 cell,204-507-2614,home, you won’t be disappointed!
Ezzard Charles was usually dismissed as a good fighter because he didn’t have a good punch. I read that at one time he did but he killed one of his opponents with his punches and never got over it. Ergo no good punches from then on.
