Corbett's own Autobiography "The Roar of the Crowd" is one of the more entertaining boxing books you will ever read.

Corbett was a character. They called him "Gentleman Jim" because of his demeanor and his dapper style but he was one of the first real trashtalkers in sports, using it as sort of a psychological warfare against his opponents on a regular basis.
