The good news is that you can step in the ring with him and not get hurt.”—Jonathan Eig, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Ali: A Life and King: A Life  “Lots of people know boxing, but not many understand it: Its spirit, its significance, its storied past and probable future. Mike Silver is one of the few. Anything he writes is essential reading for the true fan.”—David Margolick, contributing editor at Vanity Fair and author of Beyond Glory: Joe Louis vs. Max Schmeling, and a World on the Brink Praise for The Arc of Boxing “Lively . . .
