Readers will learn about Charles' frustrated attempts to get a shot at the 175-pound world title; his three wins over the legendary Archie Moore; and his futile struggle to win the respect of boxing fans spoiled by Louis' power and charisma.
This is the book today's sports' fans have been waiting for - the one that answers their questions about the man The Ring magazine called the greatest light heavyweight who ever lived. For reasons no one can quite explain, there has never been a biography of one of modern prizefighting's most revered and skilled practitioners - until now. Ezzard Charles: A Boxing Life is a long overdue addition to the vast collection of good literature covering the fight game.
