Boxing's last Golden Age gets the book it deserves. Kimball's breezy, detailed-packed book . . . provides vivid, knowledgeable accounts of the action. He also draws clear portraits of four fighters whose styles in and out of the ring were so markedly different and shows how interwoven their lives became. --Richard O'Brien, Sports Illustrated , on Four Kings
