An instant classic. “The Arc of Boxing: The Rise and Decline of the Sweet Science” by Mike Silver is a brilliant and provocative analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the greatest boxers of the past 100 years.  Read what the world’s top trainers and historians think about today’s superstar boxers and how they compare to their counterparts of decades past. This book breaks new ground in its analysis of the “old timers” vs. “modern fighters” boxing debate.  It should be compulsory reading for anyone who wants to understand the history and evolution of the sport.
