Author Description

Heavyweight boxers have always had a special appeal. From the last great bare-knuckle champion, John L. Sullivan, to the modern giants such as Tyson and Lewis, this is the definitive history of the heavyweight fighter. Dozens of books have been written about the champions, but this is the first time the doings, and sometimes undoings, of the main men of the heavyweight division--champions, challengers, and pretenders alike--have been placed side by side in one book.
