I'm perhaps the biggest advocate for Howard's boxing fiction;
he wrote so damn much of it, and it's only just now coming to
light. Granted, while the bulk of it is humorous (in that
three stooges kind of way), there are a few serious boxing
stories that he wrote, collected in Grant's "The Iron Man,"
and elsewhere. In particular, "Iron-Jaw," aka
"Fists of the Desert," is positively hard-boiled. That got
reprinted in the Bison collection, and it's a corker.
