This is a real question, not a rhetorical one. I admire many boxing writers but I do not have a pick for best. Leibling was awfully great, Mailer was incredible for the little on boxing he wrote. And I have to admit, Joyce Carol Oates always felt like an interloper to me. Jack London touched upon boxing too. There are plenty more. Who you got? For one thing, I would like to do some more reading.
While you are at it, what are the best boxing works ever written in both fiction and journalistic writing?
I believe London wrote a story entitled A Piece Of Meat. Not saying that was the pinnacle, but quite entertaining anyway. I even have a few boxing stories. Don't worry.
