Reviews

Fans of boxing's great middleweight, Harry Greb, are in for a treat...detailed...Paxton's work will rekindle the reader's interest in the exploits of Fearless Harry...masterfully written...well researched...interesting read...abundance of photographs...highly recommend --<i>Cyber Boxing Zone</i>; Paxton knows his subject so well that he is able to dispel most of the myths and still tell an engrossing story --<i>Dublin's Evening Herald</i>; there may not be a huge audience out there for a biography of Harry Greb, but Bill Paxton has put together a good one --<i>The Ring</i>; the author deserves credit for the massive amount of research that went into his work --<i>www.secondsout.com.</i>
