Book excerpt: At over six and a half feet tall and nearly 300 pounds, heavyweight champion Primo Carnera was a giant for his times, but today "the Ambling Alp" is too often written off as an unskilled oaf and a product of the mob dealings that plagued boxing during the 1930s. He may not have been a natural in the ring, but he worked as hard as any boxer to learn his craft, to be in top condition, and he repeatedly showed that he was tougher than nails. This biography details Carnera's early life and boxing career, his success as a fighter as well as accusations of fight fixing, his strengths and limitations in the ring, and his later career as a wrestler.

Book excerpt: Greatness is often overlooked in its own time. For Ezzard Charles--one of boxing's most skilled practitioners, with a record of 93-25-1 (52 KO)--recognition took decades. Named by The Ring magazine as the greatest light heavyweight of all time, Charles was frustrated in his attempts to get a shot at the 175-pound title, and as World Heavyweight Champion (1949-1951) struggled to win the respect of boxing fans captivated by Joe Louis' power and charisma. This first-ever biography of "The Cincinnati Cobra" covers his early life in a small country town and his career in the glamorously dirty business of prizefighting in the 1950s, one of the sport's Golden Ages. Charles' fights with Louis, Jersey Joe Walcott, Rocky Marciano and his three wins over the legendary Archie Moore are detailed.

Download or read book Dick Tiger written by Adeyinka Makinde and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dick Tiger was perhaps the greatest fighter to come out of the African continent. Emerging from an environment devoid of substantive traditions in boxing, he would overcome a litany of obstacles before becoming a two-time undisputed world middleweight titlist and an undisputed light heavyweight champion. ?The Life and Times of a Boxing Immortal, ? the first comprehensive biography of Dick Tiger, puts the man in the context of his times. A migrant fighter to Liverpool, the repository of West African born fighters who kept the British game alive during the industry wide recession of the 1950s, Tiger later moved to America where he established a marquee value seldom attained by non-American fighters and where he played a prominent role as an ?in-house? fighter at the ?Mecca of Boxing, ? New York City's Madison Square Garden. His life also personified the hopes, aspirations and the tragedy of the Igbo ethnic group. An avowed apostle of Biafran secession from Nigeria, Tiger's support would cost him dearly. Here is Dick Tiger as never before explained: The ?blue collar? fighter, ageless ringman, commercial venturer, Nigerian patriot and Biafran rebel. From empty bottle trader to wealthy realtor, from Nigerian boxing booths to Madison Square Garden, from journeyman fighter to world championship fighter; ?The Life and Times of a Boxing Immortal? is a compelling study of human dignity in triumph and in tragedy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE LONGHAIRED BOXER took author Ed. (Aka Chu Chu) Malave twelve years to complete. He struggled with depression, coming to terms with haunting memories. As the much-publicized New York boxer in the early '70s whose pretty face, shoulder-length locks and gladiator style, Mr. Malave defied convention, injecting glitz and glamour into sports, opening the door for athletes to bring more to their game than just talent. Mr. Malave broke every rule to be his own man. He acted on the New York Stage and Hollywood TV shows and movies, working with Barbra Streisand, Al Pacino, Ryan O'Neal and Robert Duval, to name a few. When acting jobs dried-up, he became homeless. His toughest battle. He wrote his story as a way of understanding how he had fallen so low. The former boxer/actor attended California State University, Los Angeles, as a 52-year-old high school dropout and received a Bachelors Degree in English. He wrote a feature for the New York Daily News, "Brotherly Glove" (1997), and an essay as a student, My Sharkskin Suit in "VOICES: Tapping the Child's Voice" (Alliance Press, 2000). He just completed his first novel, Spanish Eyes, a romantic, action-packed adventure story. The Longhaired Boxer is the triumph of rising, falling, and RISING AGAIN. Who doesn't like a story of a fight for dignity? It's through the lessons of others that we learn we're alike - more resilient than we give ourselves credit. TLB is a gut-wrenching story of overcoming life's most eviscerating hammer blows. Mr. Malave's tome is an inspiration.
