undisputed book on boxing/fitness. the best i have seen.

this book is the best book on boxing i have read. i was so excited when i got the book, and i couldnt put it down. the author travelled to meet and train with some of the biggest names of the sport of boxing, and document what they did in the gym. you can tell that the author has walked the walk and talked the talk. the photos are fantastic and the book also gives the reader, a typical day in the life of the champion, while he was training for their big fights. this unique fly on the wall look at boxings world champions is the best i have seen. the real deal.
