Gentleman Jim Corbett: The Truth Behind a Boxing Legend

Rating:
Summary: The Full Life Of A Boxing Legend
Review: The author presents a 'complete' portrait of former heavyweight champion of the world, Gentlemen James J. Corbett. It's a 'warts and all' portrayl, telling the reader about the 'Gentlemens' dark side, and about his charming side. His writing about the Corbett family and Jim's upbringing is very interesting. The desriptions of Corbett's classic fights, with the likes of 'Peter Jackson, Bob Fitzsimmons, and James J. Jeffries' are told in a entertaining and informative way. He even delves into Corbett's married life, a part of his life that was not always pretty, but presents it in a fair and even handed way. Concluding, if your a boxing buff or just someone curious about a legend named 'Corbett' you will certainly find something rewarding in this fasinating biography..
