Title: A worthy read
Product review: I read this book after watching the Manila fight on ESPN Classic. Don't be fooled (as I was initially) by the book's size; while not the tome I was expecting, it had more than enough information and definitely held my attention.On the negative side I did find the editing to be subpar in some places which at times made the text difficult to discern. This is especially annoying because much of the book is written in a Sports Illustrated coulmn style. But overall the pace was quick and fluid.I was impressed that the author was able to debunk the Ali myth while still acknowledging Ali's talent as a fighter. Contrary to one of the other reviewers here, Kram did NOT see the Manila as just another fight. In fact, he made it plain to the reader that both Ali-Frazier I and III brought out the best(and worst) in both men and rank as the some of boxings greatest moments.Whatever your personal feelings of Ali and Frazier you won't regret reading this book.
