"American writers have always been fascinated by the ring - by the primal contest inside the ropes and the crazy carnival world outside them. From back-alley gyms and smoke-filled arenas to star-studded casinos and exotic locales, they have chronicled unforgettable stories about determination and dissipation, great champions and punch-drunk has-beens, colorful entourages and outrageous promoters, and, inevitably along the way, have written incisively about race, class, and spectacle in America. Like baseball, boxing has a vivid culture and language all its own, one that has proven irresistible to career sportswriters and literary essayists alike. This gritty and glittering anthology gathers a century of the very best writing about the fights. Here are Jack London on the immortal Jack Johnson; H.L. Mencken and Irvin S. Cobb on Jack Dempsey vs. Georges Carpentier, the first "Fight of the Century" that captivated the world in the 1920s; Richard Wright on Joe Louis's historic first-round knockout of Max Schmeling; A.J. Liebling's brilliantly comic portrait of a manager who really identifies with his fighter; Jimmy Cannon on Archie Moore, the greatest fighter of the 1950s; James Baldwin and Gay Talese on Floyd Patterson's epic tilt with Sonny Liston; George Plimpton on Muhammad Ali and Malcolm X; Norman Mailer on the Rumble in the Jungle; Mark Dram on the Thrilla in Manila; Pete Hamil on legendary trainer and manager Cus D'Amato; Mark Krieger on Oscar De La Hoya; and David Remnick and Joyce Carol Oates on Mike Tyson.
