Gary Todd has been involved in boxing forever. For him, boxing is so much more than a sport. It’s in his DNA.
Decades of walking and talking with the best fighters, both training in their gyms, to interviews with legendary boxers such as Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier, Mike Tyson, Marvin Hagler, Manny Pacquiao, Floyd Mayweather, Roberto Duran and Tommy Hearns, to name a few.
This latest offering from Todd features 26 boxers from the four corners of the world, and as soon as you open the first page, you know you’re in for a treat. The quality, layout of rare photos and original artwork is a tremendous addition to this book, but what makes Todd’s book so special is his unique writing style as he transports the reader into the world of popular fighters, setting the scene for each boxer’s journey and giving the reader a story within a story.
Have you ever wondered what a typical day in the life of a champion boxer is like? what does he eat What does he do while training for a big fight, and what is his life like as a fighter? It’s a fly-on-the-wall look at every boxer, and it’s all in the section of the book called ‘A day in the life of the champion ‘which I found fascinating. As I turned each page, it was hard to stop reading, especially when I reached the champions’ workouts. They were a real eye opener and an inspiration, giving me real insight into what these guys did to become champions. From Gennady Golovkin, to Jai Opetaia, Marvelous Marvin Hagler and Azumah Nelson, “Greatest Boxing Champions Ever” is a visual treat and uniquely excellent.
