Description

Are nowadays’s boxers better than their predecessors, or is brand new boxing a shadow of its former self? Boxing historians discuss the socioeconomic and demographic changes that have affected the standard, prominence and popularity of the game during the last century. A number of the interviewees are world-renowned scholars, one of the crucial sport’s premier trainers, and former amateur and professional world champions. Chapters cover such topics as the ongoing deterioration of boxers’ skills, their endurance, the decline within the collection of fights and the psychological readiness of championship-caliber boxers. The strengths and weaknesses of nowadays’s superstars are analyzed and in comparison to those of such past greats as Joe Louis, Sugar Ray Robinson, Jack Dempsey and Jake LaMotta.
