In this bountiful collection of his best boxing stories of the last half-century, Budd Schulberg takes his fans all the way back to an epic bare-knuckle contest in England two hundred years ago. Drawing a revealing portrait of Uncle Mike Jacobs, the promotional impresario of boxing in its Golden Age, the author expertly places Joe Louis and Muhammad Ali in the social history of their times. This book brings fans up to date in the careers of the great names of recent decades, like Tyson, Holyfield, De La Hoya, Hopkins, Chico Corrales and more.
