Do you ever read anything that isn't either a boxing book or magazine (not including The Sporting Life)?

Have you ever seen Basilio, the only boxing book where less pictures would be better.

Laugh True, haven't seen any pictures of him when he was younger so don't know if he's naturally that good looking or the boxing did it.

I'm amazed Carmen's still alive (to my knowledge.) Some people are just made of steel.

Think you are correct JBW, La Motta is though, it was mentioned on here the other day he is the oldest living world champion, believe he is in his 90s now. Remarkable when one considers both of their fighting styles.
