This is a great book. I told RG Grant, Howard and Otis's brother about it because its where I HEARD Otis Grant's story for the first time. Otis Grant fought Roy Jones Jr, for those who didn't know.
Loved every single chapter. Amazing insight into boxing from someone who was at the major fights, and smaller fights.
