The Greatest Champion that Never Was: The Life of W. L. “Young” Stribling

William Lawrence Stribling, Jr. was born in a small southern Georgia town in 1904. He should have lived out his years in that rural setting, but he became a professional prizefighter by the age of sixteen. Though a fatal accident kept him from winning the championship title he sought, "Young" Stribling was true to himself and the values with which he had been raised. This book tells his story.
