Damn same here. My wife got it for me for Christmas so far very good Especially the part were Hagler was left out of the tournament that Don King controlled and basically rigged the whole tournament. What a dumbass

he has had a few mentions here and there starting from the 79 Leonard fight to when he fought the others - the main focus is on them though

Get the book

Already heard a lot of props for this one, it's about time I take one of them off the shelves at Barnes. Appreciate much for the heads up!
