William Dettloff
Ezzard Charles: A Boxing Life traces Charles' early life in a small country town all the way to his fights with Jersey Joe Walcott, Joe Louis and Rocky Marciano during the wild, glamorous and wonderfully dirty business of boxing in the 1950s, one of the sport's last Golden Ages.
Marc Notes: Genius is seldom recognized in its own time. In the case of Ezzard Charles it took several decades but late really is better than never. This book traces Charles' early life in a small country town and all the way to his fights with Jersey Joe Walcott, Joe Louis and Rocky Marciano during the wild, glamorous and wonderfully dirty business of boxing in the 1950s. Brief Description: "For Ezzard Charles--one of boxing's most skilled practitioners, with a record of 93-25-1 (52 KO)--recognition took decades. This first-ever biography of 'The Cincinnati Cobra' covers his early life in a small country town and his career in the glamorously dirty business of prizefighting in the 1950s, one of the sport's Golden Ages"--Publisher Marketing: Greatness is often overlooked in its own time. For Ezzard Charles--one of boxing's most skilled practitioners, with a record of 93-25-1 (52 KO)--recognition took decades. Named by The Ring magazine as the greatest light heavyweight of all time, Charles was frustrated in his attempts to get a shot at the 175-pound title, and as World Heavyweight Champion (1949-1951) struggled to win the respect of boxing fans captivated by Joe Louis' power and charisma. This first-ever biography of "The Cincinnati Cobra" covers his early life in a small country town and his career in the glamorously dirty business of prizefighting in the 1950s, one of the sport's Golden Ages. Charles' fights with Louis, Jersey Joe Walcott, Rocky Marciano and his three wins over the legendary Archie Moore are detailed.
