Product Description The greatest fighters of all time come to life in the pages of this carefully researched and fully illustrated guide to the "Sweet Science." Packed with facts, figures, and action photos, every honoree in the Hall of Fame is here, from the earliest bare-knuckle brawlers to 20th-century heroes like Joe Louis and Muhammad Ali. In addition to the most significant boxers, this collection also includes information on lesser-known contributors to the sport―writers, journalists, promoters, trainers, and cutmen. The fifth edition has definitive fight-by-fight records of all International Boxing Hall of Fame inductees through 2011 and updated biographies and records for previous inductees. Review "This latest edition continues to deliver on the dual role . . . essential to those who seriously study the sport (the index is invaluable) while doubling as a fine jumping-on point for individuals just delving into the beauty of boxing." —www.MaxBoxing.com (November 2011) About the Author James B.
