The Life and Crimes of Don King
A new, updated edition of Jack Newfield's hard-hitting unauthorized biography of boxing kingpin Don King, source of the Emmy-winning film starring Ving Rhames. With a new epilogue.

Are today's boxers better than their predecessors, or is modern boxing a shadow of its former self?
