Patterson, Liston, Ali, Frazier, Foreman, Spinks, Holmes, Tyson, Holyfield, he's known them all so it was an absolute pleasure to talk to him about his life following the Noble Art.Jerry's book, Once There Were Giants, the Golden Age of Heavyweight Boxing comes out in paperback on May 11th and is available now for pre-order via Amazon.
