"Brunt does an excellent job of bringing his subjects out of the
shadow of the Greatest, recounting their often poignant tales of
life before and after their dates with the champ. In the end, of
course,
we learn more about Ali. What stands out is their almost unanimous
expression of affection for Ali. A worthy addition to any boxing
collection." -Library Journal
Muhammad Ali cast a blinding light on his sport, on the tumultuous
times in which he reigned as champion, and on all the people who
surrounded him. That included the fighters brave enough to stand
alone in the ring with the greatest heavyweight champion of all
time.
Ali's own story has been told often, but the tales of those who
faced him have been mostly overlooked. For each, the moments alone
in the ring with Ali changed their lives. Facing Ali tells the
stories, in the fighters' own words, of fifteen men from around the
world-from famous names like Joe Frazier, George Foreman, and Henry
Cooper, to lesser lights like Tunney Hunsaker, Jergen Blin, and
George Chuvalo. Facing Ali offers a unique perspective on what it
was like to fight Ali, and gives new insights into the character of
a boxer who is arguably the most recognized man on the planet.
