BILLY SOOSE ; The Champion Time Forgot

Authors : Rusty Rubin and Tom Donelson

Who is Billy Soose ? A lot of people may ask this question. Especially
today's younger fans who probably had no idea.Two of the best writers in the business, Rusty Rubin and Tom Donelson co-authored a book that should enlighten the boxing fan as to how good Billy Soose really was.

I had heard of Billy Soose. He was one of the many middleweight claimants
during that era along with Fred Apostoli, Ceferino Garcia, Marcel Thil, Ben
Jeby, Lou Broulillard, Vince Dundee, Teddy Yarosz, Eddie Risko, Al Hostak,
Solly Krieger, Ken Overlin, Freddie Steele and Gorilla Jones. I always felt
that the tall, hard hitting Freddie Steele was the best of this bunch. This
book made me re-think that position.

This book will show why Billy Soose was such a unique boxer. He is
considered the best collegiate boxer of all time. As his professional career
reached its zenith he beat two reigning middleweight champions, Ken Overlin
and Tony Zale in non-title matches. He would eventually meet Overlin again
and win a portion of the title. A rematch with Tony Zale never materialized.

There is a campaign to get Billy Soose inducted into the International
Boxing Hall Of Fame. This well written book makes a strong case for
Mr.Soose. I know a lot more about his amazing career since reading this
book. I highly recommend it. It is one of those books that when you pick it
up, it is hard to put it down.

PRESS RELEASE:
Juan Carlos Gomez Tests NEGATIVE

Cuban Heavyweight Contender Passes Independent Analysis

December 28, 2005 – Former W.B.C. Cruiserweight Champion Juan Carlos Gomez received the results of an independent drug test today. On December 22^nd, 2005, in a Burbank, California medical clinic, the thirty-two year old Gomez took the independent drug test. The test’s results showed no cocaine traces in the system of Gomez.
Juan Carlos took matters into his own hands and scheduled the test when a December 16^th Associated Press report stated that he had tested positive for cocaine use after an October 15^th bout with former W.B.C. Heavyweight Champion Oliver McCall in Germany and faced a possible two-year suspension. Juan Carlos won the bout via a unanimous decision.
“I am not afraid to be tested, as I have not used cocaine. The results from Germany must have been an error. I look forward to straightening out my immigration status here in the United States and traveling to Germany to look into this matter,” said Gomez from his Santa Monica, California home.
Added Gomez, “Most interesting to me is that no one has contacted me from the German boxing commission or Universum, my promotional company, regarding these allegations about cocaine use.”
Juan Carlos Gomez, nicknamed The Black Panther, has a solid record of 40-1 (33 KOs) and is currently ranked as the number four heavyweight in the World by the World Boxing Council.
