Front Jacket Excerpt:
"..Between the incredibly exciting and explicit accounts of Ali's major
fights are little known anecdotes and facts about his background. Here you
will find
Muhammed Ali's childhood, the unlikely influence of Gorgeous George,
amatory misadventures of his "fox"-hunting days, the truth behind the Sonny
Liston victories, and his conversion to the Black Muslim faith. A special
chapter deals with the complex legal actions against Ali by the federal
Government.
Above and beyond a difinative biography of Muhammed Ali, whom he has known
since their Olympic days, Jose Torres has written a probing analysis of the
mystique, physiology and psychology of professional boxing."
