Adam Pollack told me that he finally found pictures of Jack Dempsey knocking out 7'2" Ben Wray prior to the Gibbons fight. So it's included in the book.

Are they good, Pollacks books?

Are they good, Pollacks books?

They are very detailed referring to newspapers and often have pictures people haven't seen or rarely seen.

This is EXACTLY what I'm looking for in a book!! I only read the Jeffries & Fitzsimmon's books, but I liked them recommended. I have a big passion for writers.
