The Most Wanted series puts on the gloves
and steps inside the squared circle to chronicle the best and worst
of the pugilistic world plus everything in between. Authors David
L. Hudson, Jr., and Mike Fitzgerald, Jr., answer the bell with
fifty top-ten lists of famous fighters, fantastic finishes, oddball
occurrences, and yes, even the punch-drunk palookas that padded the
stats of some of the sports top stars. Youll read about the
greatest fight trilogies, the biggest upsets, the famous families,
and the real-life boxing personalities who appeared in the movie
reels. Youll even read dueling lists about boxers with prison
backgrounds and those who had a second career on the right side of
the law. Which all-time middleweight great, who set a record with
fifteen successive title defenses, lost his debut bout at the
light-heavyweight level? Whom did Muhammad Ali dub "Dracula"
because of his missing front teeth? Which prolific puncher scared
some opponents so badly that after they showed up at the weigh-in,
they chickened out of the fight itself? Youll find these tidbits
and hundreds of others in BOXING'S MOST WANTED. Whether youre a new
fan or a longtime student of the sport, youll find something in
this book to amuse and amaze you. You dont have to skip rope or
chug raw eggs to get inside a boxing ring anymore, Hudson and
Fitzgerald take you there to absorb all the jabs, roundhouses, and
kayoes you can handle. |
