Al Stump wrote 2 books on Cobb. Firts one he followed Cobb around as Cobb told stories of his carreer and life and famous events (fights). But Cobb reminded Stump that Cobb had all editing rights, therefor it is a very "cleaned-up: version. Years after Cobb died, Stumb re-wrote the book and tells the "truth". I suggest reading them in order and back-to-back. Interesting take o comparing what Cobb said and what he told Stump to write, the Stump wrote basically the same thing but a little more truthful. You can still find the 1960's Book quite easily.
