I'm reading "Heavyweight Boxing in the 1970s." The Great Fighters and Rivalries by Joe Ryan.
This is a Great read for anyone who was riveted by 1970s Heavyweight Boxing.
It goes year by year in great detail.

Re: Great Boxing Book
Thanks for the heads up, Tony. I'm going to have to get my hands on that one soon.
I checked with my local library system to see if they had a copy to borrow but no such luck. However, while doing so I noticed that they do have a copy of HARD LUCK: THE TRIUMPH & TRAGEDY OF "IRISH" JERRY QUARRY a book that I've wanted to read for quite some time but had forgotten about. Now I have it on hold for me. Something that wouldn't have happened without this thread setting things in motion. So, thanks again, Tony.
