Among the best pound-for-pound fighters of all time, Willie Pep was a virtuoso of the squared circle. A scientific boxer with balletic defensive skills and a stiff jab, Pep so masterfully evaded his opponents, one remarked it was like battling a man in a room full of mirrors. This book covers his remarkable career, with highlights of each bout.

A biography of Oscar Battling Matthew Nelson, without question the toughest and most durable professional boxer ever to enter a ring. In the years since his death in 1954, there has been little disagreement over the significance of his life: a bona fide ring champion, whose endurance was second to none, and whose trilogy with Joe Gans was one of the greatest in sports history.

Inside Madison Square Garden, the City Ring was the altar of pugilism from 1925 until 2007. Hosting championship fights, historic main events and memorable undercards, it was centre stage of boxing history. While many books have been written about great fistic contests that took place at the Garden, this is the first to focus on its Holy Grail.
