Reader Endorsements:

Henry Hascup, New Jersey Boxing Hall of Fame: "I have to be honest, when I first received this book I thought, how can anyone write a book on the Lewis/Tyson fight and how good can it be? Boy, was I wrong. I was very pleased with it and I actually learned a lot, congratulations."

Emanuel Steward, Hall of Fame trainer, manager, HBO analyst, trainer of Lennox Lewis: "Your book is a smashing success. It's easy to read, flows nicely, you did a ton of research. I really enjoyed reliving that experience. All the craziness with Crocodile and all that stuff. On the flight to Vegas for the Hatton-Pacquiao fight, I signed more copies of your book than any book I've ever signed, all the Brits were on the flight to Vegas, they kept coming up to me with the books. Then when I got to Vegas I kept seeing these books with the two red gloves. They had me sign covers, the inside pages. Your's and George Kimball's book (Four Kings) are two of the best boxing books I've ever read."

Dan Markowitz, Author of biographies about John Starks, Walt Frazier and Vince Spadea: "I like it a lot. Good flow to it, and your interviews with key sources like Lewis's mentor were interesting. The writing is crisp and stylish. The book is smooth, interesting. What I find interesting is that even though Tyson was basically washed up when he fought Lewis, and you point this out well, the fight still had so much interest and clout."
