CALL FOR THOMAS HAUSER TO AUTHOR BOOK ON WALCOTT
Posted: 09 Sep 2010, 12:08
MY FAVOURITE BOXING BOOK OF ALL TIME WAS THE 'BLACK LIGHTS ' BY THOMAS HAUSER . MY FAVOURITE 'ALI' BOOK OUT OF THE DOZENS AVAILABLE WAS HAUSER'S BIOGRAPHY ENTITLED SIMPLY ' MUHAMMAD ALI ' . THAT IS WHY I WOULD LIKE HAUSER TO GET HIS PEN OUT AND WRITE ONE ON JERSEY JOE WALCOTT .
I THINK WALCOTT WOULD BE JUST AS INTERESTING A STORY AS JIMMY BRADDOCK . AFTER ALL HE WAS A JOURNEY MAN PRO , BEFORE 'RETIRING ' FOR A FEW YEARS AND REALLY STRUGGLED TO SUPPORT HIS FAMILY . HE THEN MAKES A COMEBACK AND IS ROBBED IN A TITLE CHALLENGE TO HIS HERO JOE LOUIS . HE THEN TRIES AND FAILS TWICE AGAINST CHARLES , BEFORE EVENTUALLY WINNING THE TITLE WITH AN ABSOLUTELY PERFECTLY TIMED RIGHT HOOK CUM UPPERCUT . HE SIMILARLY LOST THE CHAMPIONSHIP TO MARCIANO WITH AN EQUALLY GOOD RIGHT HOOK . HE HAD A GOOD ROLE IN THE FILM ' THE HARDER THEY FALL ' AND REFEREED THE INFAMOUS SECOND ALI /LISTON FIGHT . THERE'S SURELY A LOT TO GO ON .
ALMOST ALL THE HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONS HAVE HAD SOMETHING WRITTEN ON THEM , ALTHOUGH BAER AND SHARKEY HAVE ALSO BEEN MISSED .
SO COME ON - IS THOMAS HAUSER OUT THERE SOMEWHERE READING THIS .
