Title: The Chilla in Manila
Product review: If you're expecting a Muhammad Ali or Joe Frazier hagiography, look elsewhere. "Ghosts of Manila" is a brutally honest portrait of the legendary 1975 fight and its chilling aftermath. While examining the bitter rivalry between Ali and Frazier, author Mark Kram reaches an unavoidable conclusion: Boxing destroys lives and tortures souls. When Ali says "We went to Manila as champions . . . and came back as old men," he understates the impact of that historic bout. For both fighters, it was a near-death experience. One of the finest sports books ever written.
