The Mad and the Bad: Boxing Tales of Murder, Madness and Mayhem (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781785313950)

Boxing has always had its wacky warriors and masters of menace. Eight-times married conman Kid McCoy took his own life. The fearless Stanley Ketchel was shot dead by a jealous farm worker. The enigmatic Battling Siki used to parade a lioness down the boulevards of Paris, while the unpredictable Chris Eubank enraged the establishment with his eccentric lifestyle. Mean and moody Sonny Liston died in mysterious circumstances. The brilliant Aaron Pryor fell victim to drugs. Roberto Duran once knocked over a horse in anger, while beer-guzzling Tony Galento threatened to "moider da bums." Here, Thomas Myler brilliantly brings to life all these and many more unforgettable fighters.
