Definitely a must for every BOXING BUFF out there! Not only do we get rare boxing stories, but we also get 2 incerpts from two great films of the genre: Rod Serling's "REQUIEM FOR A HEAVYWEIGHT" and "I could've been a contender..." (WATERFRONT). Other books to consider: 1. BOXING'S BEST SHORT STORIES 2. ROPE BURNS (by F.X. TOOLE -- the same guy who brought us "Million Dollar Baby" -- included, along with other great, great short stories!) 3. UNDEFEATED: "Rocky Marciano: The Fighter Who Refused To Lose". 4. THE ROCKY GUIDE TO LIFE (quotes from all 6 films -- make room for the next one -- Ahem!!) 5. ROCKY: THE ULTIMATE GUIDE (everything you ever wanted from all 6 box office smashes!! Great pictures too!) I hope that helps. Enjoy.
