Question
I was wondering if you could tell me something about the career of the great welterweight champion Jimmy McLarnin, who is one of my all-time favorite boxers. Also, do you know of a biography of Jimmy McLarnin that you could reccomend?

           Thanks,

Answer
Hi Josiah,
Thanks for the question.
Nowadays, whenever I want to research an individual, I go to www.google.com and type in his or her name!
I did so for McLarnin and the search produced numerous results, including biographies (none of which I have read personally). Instead of replicating that info here, I recommend you do the same search on google and then you can focus in on the specific info you want about McLarnin.

Thanks again for writing, Josiah!

Regards,
Lian
