I thought the book was pretty good, it gave me some info about some of the greats of boxing. Including Sugar Ray Robinson, Muhammad Ali, Joe louis, Mike Tyson, and many more. Also they history of boxing when it was invented how it changed during the ages and new rules and stuff. Also the dark side of boxing including fixing fights, racism, death in the ring or boxing related, and some crime history of boxers.
