Thomas Hauser has resurrected the spirited of boxing"-George Foreman, World Heavy Weight Champion
"Hauser, always a skilled writer, outdoes himself here. He puts you in this fight. And as you continue to read, he makes you understand in a way that will jolt your psyche. He will challenge you not to put this book down. And you will lose.
He will open your mind to look into what we call the "sweet science." But beyond that, he will tear away the tinsel of a title fight and cut into the scab of its brutality. He will expose it all here. It is raw, painful, beautiful and, above all, real.
This is one hell of a book. " - Jerry Izenberg Legendary Sportswriter , Inductee International Boxing Hall of Fame.
From the renowned author of Muhammad Ali: His Life and Times, Thomas Hauser's most riveting
work to date tells the tale of a young fighter who rises from hard origins to challenge for the most
coveted prize in sports: the undisputed heavyweight championship of the world.
Moving back and forth with increasing intensity between the bright lights and shadows of
professional boxing, Waiting for Carver Boyd is about hope, anger, loss, and belief in oneself. It's a
love story with a special twist.
Hauser, an unparalleled chronicler of the contemporary boxing scene, strips the sport bare of its
glamour and glitz to give readers an inside look at how the sweet science really works.
Reviews:
"Hauser is the most respected boxing journalist working today and perhaps the best ever."
- Booklist
"Thomas Hauser is a great writer. He knows boxing and tells it like it is. I've been there. I know."
- Larry Holmes
"There is no one better equipped to write about boxing than Thomas Hauser." - Joe Frazier
"A hundred years from now, if people want to learn about boxing in this era, they'll read Thomas
Hauser." - Lennox Lewis
THE GUARDIAN: Thomas Hauser is best known for Muhammad Ali: His Life and Times, which
won the William Hill sports book of the year prize in 1991. But he was writing novels long before
that, and his latest makes use of his deep knowledge of the boxing world. Hollywood executives
ought to be weighing its big-screen potential.
THE TIMES (OF LONDON): Bringing a spectator sport to life on the page is no mean feat. Hauser
pulls it off in spare and direct prose that can be read in one breathless sitting.
