Overview

The Sweet Science will live forever. Boxing has been a sport of global popularity for well over a century. It has survived world conflicts, segregation, rule changes, periods of dwindling viewership, and even the influx of non-boxers offending purists. And, even today, boxing fights regularly break a million pay-per-view buys at least once a year. It is, therefore, true that boxing is here to stay for the foreseeable future, with slight ups and downs in popularity but no large existential threat. Boxing is also unique among the combat sports in that legendary boxers in each weight class have also been world famous. Pacquiao and Mayweather were household names even before their weight could not possibly exceed 135 pounds. The heavyweight division might still be the marquee, but skill still trumps size and showmanship. In this book, I have tried to help you relive the glory days of boxing, and to help you test your knowledge of the larger-than-life personalities who filled the ring with their preternatural speed and athleticism. From Ali to Tyson, from Hearns to Hagler, you will find all the greats here; equally, I have also tried to give some space to smaller stars who never burned as brightly, since they are also part of the rich tapestry of boxing. Go on, evaluate whether you are as big a fan of the great boxers as you think you are!
