    I will pick this up most definitely. I've already read the Paxton book and Give him to the Angels both are great. In addition Tunney speaks a lot about Greb in his book A man must fight which is another great read.

    *I read somewhere that that his trainer stated Grebs body secreted an oily substance...when massaged his body would be oily... he stated he thought that was the secret of Grebs unbelievably abilty to take a punch...


    fight of the century...Greb vs Langford.

    Isn't Give him to the Angels very difficult/expensive to get?

    Extremely. I got my copy about 30 years ago.Today even a bad copy goes from between 200 and 500 bucks.

    What I'd love to get my hands on would be the Walker fight as it was filmed. Its in the States somewhere sitting in an attic.
