You mean those still among us? Check out @donaldgmcrae, who's constantly adding to a truly great body of work. Sure I'm missing a bunch of others. But thank you, Nick. You made my summer.
Cannot recommend the latest epic from @MarkKriegel enough. His book on Mike Tyson's rise, "Baddest Man," is an unfiltered thrill ride. There hasn't been an athlete humanized like this in a long time: https://t.co/vbxFZJm0ze
I bought him to placate my daughter and guard against periodic bouts of loneliness. He became my workout buddy, wingman, and the seducer of my eventual wife.
Along the way, without me even knowing it, he guided me from one life to another.

In his congressional testimony last week, Nick Khan said the WBC, ostensibly a non-profit sanctioning body, bought $265k worth of tickets to Canelo-Crawford in Las Vegas last year.
These are the receipts
It's difficult to offend anyone in boxing. This does the trick, though. @wbcmoro calling @terencecrawford a "coward"? Really? This would be the same "coward" who begged for years for a unification fight while people like Sulaiman did nothing.
WBC President Mauricio Sulaimán has claimed that Terence Crawford "retired like a coward" in a recent interview
Crawford refused to pay sanctioning fees to the WBC after defeating Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez in September
"It's about presenting an option... Keep the Ali Act as is. Just provide this option for the UBOs which we think is great for the fighters."
