  Photographer and writer Arlene Schulman took ten years to photograph the work that appears in this book. It is a collection of photographs which capture the life of the prizefighter in and out of the ring. Her writing details the hopes and desires of the youngest boys in amateur contests, through contenders in training, journeymen in defeat and world champions in their prime. It presents a picture of what drives men to box. This book features fighters such as Sugar Ray Robinson, Willie Pep and Archie Moore, along with the world-famous champions such as Ali, Frazier, Holmes, Spinks, Duran and Hagler who suceeded them.
