Floyd Patterson: the Fighting Life of Boxings Invisible Champion by WK Stratton

It's a good read and I've learned a good bit about Floyd's relationship with Cus and what happened behind the scenes. Only thing I don't like about the book is that it's heavily implied that Marciano retired to avoid fighting Patterson, which is pretty laughable lmao

Other than that, just finishing it up, it's been a good read

No way Rocky retires to avoid any Floyd. Nino Valdez was supposed to be June 1956 and then he would have dispatched Floyd The Really Youngun' in late September 1956 and retired 51-0 with 44 KO's.

Don't think he could've knocked out the 6' 3" 220 pound Valdez, but think he'd have fucking ***SPARKED*** Patterson with body shots, not in 1 like Liston but in 4 or 5.

He's knocked out bigger guys than Valdez, and it's hard to see anybody from that time period going the full fifteen with Marciano.

But yeah Patterson would have been fucked lmao

A Short History of the Wars of the Roses by David Grummitt

It's nicely written and covers all the important facts about the Wars of the Roses without going into great detail.

Antarctica scientist stabbed colleague for spoiling book endings

This is the coldest case ever.

In the first attempted murder ever on the frozen continent of Antarctica, a Russian scientist reportedly snapped and allegedly tried to stab a colleague to death because the victim kept giving away the endings of books.
