I want to know everything there is to know about boxing?

[MissWarhead]

I've been hooked on watching boxing on ESPN for the past 2 weeks or so and have developed a passion for it and I plan on even trying the sport, but I'd like to know the history of it, who are the greats, and just some trivia on boxing.

That is a very good list, but it has to include Joe Louis and Jack Dempsey on it. They were both major factors in boxing history.

I'd be delighted to help. But could we start by first putting some kind of limits on your needs because right now we'd need the services of a Benedictine Abbey and hundred monks (otherwise known as the 13th Century's ""Book *******") writing non-stop for six months to finally deliver the eighty-eight leather-bound coffee table sized illustrated manuscripts that make up "The Complete and Unabridged History of Boxing".

Buy a book called Beyond the Ring, it'll tell you all that you need to know about the game....
