Book recommendation: Charley Burley
Posted: 29 Dec 2005, 16:10
I would like to recommend the book "Charley Burley & The Black Murderers Row" to my fellow boxingfans.
Charley Burley was a great fighter whom was worthy of a biography decades ago.
When "Charley Burley & The Black Murderers Row" finally
arrived in 2002, it was well worth the extra wait.
Author and boxing historian, Harry Otty, gives us a
complete picture of, not only this great fighter's life
and career, but also a much more complete look at the era
in which Burley fought. Thus, it is more than just a
brilliant biography on Charley Burley, it is also an
excellent contribution to boxing history.
"Charley Burley & The Black Murderers Row" is a
masterpiece of a book which sets a new standard for boxing
biograpies. A classic.
Of the around 100 boxing books I have read, this one is a standout.
Next book: The James Jeffreis bio, "A Man Among Men", by Kelly Nicholson.
