Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal
All boxing aficionados will welcome this well-written and informative book by a pair of boxing enthusiasts. Concise biographical information and fight records on more than 180 boxers and their "supporting casts" in the Hall of Fame are presented in four sections: pioneers, old-timers, fighters of the modern era, and noncombatants. The authors provide useful and informative sections on boxing's governing bodies and the International Boxing Hall of Fame and elsewhere take an unblinking look at "Fixes and Fallen Heroes: The Seamy Side of Boxing." Nice illustrations add a dash to this fine reference. Highly recommended for public libraries.?Ron Chepesiuk, Winthrop Univ. Lib., Rock Hill, S.C.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding reference book on boxing history & records, June 6, 2001
By "tabellio" (San Juan, PR, United States) - See all my reviews
The authors and the International Boxing Hall of Fame based in Canastota, NY deserves a lot of credit for this excellent contribution to boxing - "the sweet science". This is a treasury chest of information on boxing history, fighters records and inside stories in a handy book format with lots of great photos and illustrations. Whether you want to know about the sanctioning bodies or the weight divisions, the records or the biographies of the fighters inducted into The Hall of Fame, you will find it all right here.

Content data, records and biographies about the fighters are divided in three main sections: 1- the early pioneers from bare knuckle brawlers to the Boston Strong Boy; 2- the old timers when the sweet science becomes an American passion; and 3- the modern era when boxing waxes and wanes but the grear stars shine. Names like James Figg, John L. Sullivan (The Boston Strong Boy), Max Baer, Jack Dempsey (The Manassa Mauler), Jack Johnson (the first african-american heavyweight champion from 1908-15), Gene Tunney, Joe Louis, Archie Moore, Rocky Marciano, Sugar Ray Robinson, Joe Frazier, Muhammad Ali (The Greatest) and many other great fighters, they are all here. You will also find information about boxing's supporting cast with names like Gil Clancy, Cus D'Amato, Angelo Dundee, Lou Duva, Don King, Arthur Mercante and others. Additionally, there are short essays on the governing bodies ruling the sport, the seamy side of boxing scandals, the influence of television in the sport, etc.

In conclusion, this is an outstanding source of reliable information on boxing as well as on individual fighters in a handy, manual, illustrated book format for a very reasonable price.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most informitave boxing title i've seen, June 23, 2004
By william hendrickson (woonsocket, ri United States) - See all my reviews
The boxing register is a must have for any true boxing fanatic. The book has information of every inductee from the IBHOF, from the pioneers of the bare-knuckle era to "The Greatest", all of them have at least a page dedicated to them in the great book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Old time boxers, April 26, 2009
The book is good for short descriptions of boxers and some of the most memorable fights.
I was not that interested in British fighters but overall it is a good read.
Recommended for those interested in the history of boxing.
