Book Synopsis
A provocative and revealing look at the scandals and corruption behind the Sweet Science's greatest fights.

Controversy is the one constant running throughout boxing's history since its inception in England in 1698. Boxing's Greatest Controversies takes an incisive look at several big name fights, including Johnson vs. Burns, Dempsey vs. Willard, and Ali vs. Liston, finally laying to rest some of the most popular rumours surrounding them. It also considers the social, cultural, political, and sporting impact these fights have had on the world at large.

Did the eras shape the fights or did the fights shape the eras? Boxing history is vibrant and continuous. Boxing controversies never end. They just get passed down to the next generation of fight fans.

These prized bouts are some of the most enduring and notorious fights boxing has ever produced.
