Hard Luck: The Triumph And Tragedy Of "Irish" Jerry Quarry

read it a few years ago thought it was very good and will 2nd johnny tapias book.

nigel benn's dark destroyer was decent as was holyfields autobiography think it was the 2008 edition also.

Holyfields constant god fearing **** and repetition of his mothers home spun philosophy ruined that biog for me.

Four Kings was an excellent read. I was a big fan of George Kimball's writing and his insights in the Irish Times were always worth a read.
