OK bios, great facts section...

As mentioned before, there is some spelling and grammatical errors here and there, and the bios are OK, but mainly nothing to write home about. The facts and figures section, which gives most of the Amateur & Professional British title lineages, as well as lineal title histories and other stuff, though, makes up for it. The Bareknuckle boxer bios are pretty decent as well, and yes, the Olympic facts section is a bit skimpy. Still, one of the better Boxing Encyclopedias around, even if it's 20+ years old...

Solid book.

Some details are left out...and some fighters names are misspelled. But, overall the book gives solid bios for many great fighters. More detail should have been paid to Olympics boxing coverage though...
