Without Ray Arcel (1899-1994), the world of boxing during the 20th
century would have been markedly different. Indeed, the credibility
professional boxing as a sport would have been greatly lessened.
Arcel's prominence is all the more interesting because he made his
mark not as a fighter, promoter, or manager, but as a trainer. From
Benny Leonard to Roberto Duran and Larry Holmes, Arcel stood in the
corner for champions of every weight division that existed in his
lifetime, a record that remains unprecedented. This biography
chronicles Arcel's life inside the ring, and out--where he remained
a highly secretive man and maintained ambiguous relationships with
some of the chief mob figures of his day. Through a wealth of
information from Arcel's unpublished memoir, this work offers an
extraordinary portrait of one of boxing's most influential and
enigmatic figures.
