Heavyweight Boxing in the 1970s - The Great Fighters and Rivalries (Paperback)

This book is a generous presentation of all of the figures and events of what most consider to be the greatest era in boxing history. The first chapter compares the seventies to all of the other eras from Jack Johnson (1908-1915) up to the present day Klitcko brothers. Through an established set of criteria, the contention is proven that the seventies stands above all other eras. Chapter two covers the tumultuous 1960s and the circumstances that led to the blossoming of unprecedented competition. The remaining ten chapters cover the years 1970 through to 1979, reliving the rivalries, animosities and stories of an era that produced such household names as Ali, Frazier, Foreman, Norton and Holmes. It was a time when even those with no interest in sports knew the names of these legends.
