"In This Corner" by Peter Heller.
The author interviewed 42 former world champions. He begins the book with Willie Ritchie the Light Weight champion in 1912. (no, I never heard of him either) and ends with Alexis Arguello the Light champion in 1974.
The book describes the lives of the fighters. Both the good and bad things that happened to them.
Other fighters in the book are:
Joe Louis
Billy Conn
Willie Pep
Jake LaMotta
Archie Moore
Carmen Basilio
Jack Sharkey
Roberto Duran
Henry Armstrong
An interesting read.
