Barney Ross

Boxing historian Bert Randolph Sugar reviews ‘Barney Ross’ for the New York Times:

“…this is an excellent story of a man and his times. And proof positive that time does not relinquish its hold over men or monuments. In a sport devoted to fashioning halos for its superstars, Ross wore a special nimbus, and this book properly fits him for that. The sport of boxing could surely use another Barney Ross today.”
