Loved this. If you can find it, Barney Ross's autobiography 'Monkey on my back' is a great book. I read it 30+ years ago. The monkey on his back refers to his morphine addiction due to injuries suffered in WW2. Ross's fights with Jimmy McClarnin are some of the most brutal in ring history. Hard men in hard times.
We have done a Career Profile on Barney Ross but I cant remember if we used that book as part of the research. Thank you for listening Kevin. Part II out next week
