5.0 out of 5 stars
Fabulous,
By A Customer
This review is from: Boxing Greats: An Illustrated History of the Legends of the Ring (Hardcover)
Having spent the majority of over 40 years in and around boxing, and having been an avid reader of boxing books since I first laid eyes on Nat Fleischers Pictorial History of Boxing back in 1959, I was simply blown away by this volume. Bunce and Mee have done a beautiful job, mixing scholarship with beautiful photographs. I especially enjoyed the British slant, since the American press (which hardly covers boxing anyway!)generally ignores any boxing outside its own borders. I run a boxing gym in Seattle, and I plan to post some of the best pics on the walls so my boxers will be able to share in them. Then I will buy my second copy and keep it on my coffee table to educate my non-boxing friends. Way to go. 5 stars.Bo Brumble Seattle WA.

Bunce and Mee do all right by Me!,
This review is from: Boxing Greats: An Illustrated History of the Legends of the Ring (Hardcover)
This is a fantastic coffee table book for those interested in showing off there love of the sweet science. The photos are stunning and Bunce and Mee show proper respect to Pernell Whitaker as well as some of the other great fighters often over shadowed by Ali. While the book is predictable in glorifying Ali, it does take the time to track the history of lighter weights.
