I've read a few and enjoyed them all.

Very excited to read in that NY Times piece that David Simon is making a series of the Plot Against America which was an excellent read.

Used to love watching Herol 'Bomber' Graham who was in the Ingle camp before those two. He certainly produced a number of world class boxers.

yep, the Bomber was class. Shame he didn't have a bigger punch. I remember when Julian Jackson put him out sparko in a title fight. No disgrace really as JJ had one of the hardest punches going but so disappointing for Herol.
