About the Book

Boxing is one of the most controversial sports of all time, provoking emotions of extremes from ecstatic wonderment to utter abhorrence among the countless fans and objectors of all ages all over the world. For objectors there is a feeling of failure in a society that is otherwise civilized, as they struggle to find sense of promoting what, essentially, is a blood sport. For those that are dedicated fans, there is nothing that can rival the thrill of a one-to-one contest between men, the ultimate test of sheer strength and cunning.Such extremes of emotion have been prevalent for at least the last century, during which time the world has seen boxers of outstanding merit, has witnessed scenes of the greatest tragedy, and has shared in the victories of their wildest dreams. Boxing has given the world such men as Muhammad Ali, Rocky Marciano, and Evander Holyfield, whose performances in the ring have impressed, shocked, and overwhelmed. "Boxing--Heroes and Champions" is the perfect tribute to such men, and indeed all boxers, who have taken up this sport over the last hundred years, whether they have done so in an attempt to escape a life of no hope, or because it had been their life ambition. From James J. Corbett, Max Schmeling, and Jack Dempsey to Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, and Prince Naseem Hamed, 250 of the world's great fighters are featured, each with an account of their life both inside and outside the ring--who they have defeated, who they have lost to, championships they have won, late comebacks, and life after retirement. Lavishly illustrated throughout, there are special features on 45 of the greatest fights of all time, highlighting the sport at its very best, andcomplementing the histories they accompany.
