About this ebook

THE TRUE STORY OF THE MANASSA MAULER

He started out as a mine mucker and digger in construction camps. He fought anybody, anywhere. He got $2.50 for his first “regular” match. He was a hungry, penniless kid. Then almost overnight he was champion of the world and a millionaire and the idol of the nation.

IT’S ALL HERE—THE WHOLE THRILLING TRUTH!

...the amazing story of the massacre of Giant Jess Willard, who was supposed to beat Dempsey to a pulp but who couldn’t come out for the fourth round——

...the thrilling details of the night the champ took on three men in Montreal, and knocked each one cold in the first round——

...how he came back to KO Firpo after Firpo smashed him clear out of the ring.

He had speed and cunning and could hit like a pile driver. He was really the super fighter of the ring!

HERE IS THE CHAMP...

...beating up the bullies in western mining camps when he was just a kid

...knocking down 250-pound Jess Willard seven times in one round to go on to win the heavyweight crown

...whipping Georges Carpentier of France in their spectacular million dollar Battle of the Century

...getting punched clear out of the ring in his battle with Luis Firpo, then coming back to win

...putting Gene Tunney on the canvas for the “long count” of 14 seconds.

NAT FLEISCHER, editor of The Ring, tells you everything you’ve always wanted to know about the kid who rose from rags to become the world’s heavyweight boxing champion and the favorite of millions.

IT’S DYNAMITE!

Nat Fleischer

Nathaniel Stanley Fleischer (1887-1972) was a noted American boxing writer and collector. Born November 3, 1887, New York City, he graduated from City College of New York in 1908. He then worked for the New York Press while studying at New York University. He served as the sports editor of the Press and the Sun Press until 1929. Encouraged by Tex Rickard, he inaugurated The Ring magazine in 1922. In 1929 Fleischer acquired sole ownership of the magazine, which he led as editor in chief for fifty years, until his death in 1972. In 1942, Fleischer began to publish the magazine’s annual record book and boxing encyclopedia, which was published until 1987. In addition, Fleischer wrote several other books about the lives of some world champions and about boxing history. Fleischer contributed to the founding of the Boxing Writers Association of America (BWAA) and was twice presented with its James J. Walker Award. After Fleischer’s death, the BWAA named an award after him. Fleischer was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1990. He died on June 25, 1972, aged 84.
