Incredible stuff. I wish there was more journalism like this out there these days. Just a captivating, well written story.

this is grea.t there’s a boxing book i just bought that recounts i think 15 men who fought Ali. this reminds me of that book. it reminds me of the Tunney book in that it goes into considerable background regarding the context of the time, the men, the period etc. it tells as much about the canvas on which the fights took place in a literal and figurative sense.
