This book is dedicated to boxing. A book of aphorisms and photographs containing sayings and curious and extravagant comments by boxers, trainers, writers and journalists, chosen from among the most unusual and interesting from over the years. Quotations which more than once have captured the nature of boxing and the often paradoxical role of the boxer, his irreverent simplicity, his fragility in the face of a difficult and often violent discipline. Here is a violence linked to a great agonistic challenge and an emotional involvement; it is prominent in these photographs that cover half a century of boxing at its peak: great champions, memorable challengers, victories, and defeats which have left a significant mark on the history of this sport.
