My View from the Corner: A Life in Boxing
We have Angelo Dundee talking to Bert Sugar about boxing, the universe, and everything and the result is a book that makes you feel as is you really were sitting next to Dundee and Sugar in your local bar. The book is roughly divided into three parts. In the first, we hear about Dundee's youth and introduction through his older brother Chris into the world of boxing and his early stable of fighters, most notably light heavyweight Willie Pastrano.
The second and biggest part takes us through Dundee's years with Muhammad Ali, from his days as Cassius Clay, through his last days as a fighter. The third and final part covers Dundee's post-Ali years with Sugar Ray Leonard and George Foreman during his second stint as the lovable, heavy, old timer. Dundee's style is conversational and reads more like the transcript of his conversations with Sugar than it does a conventional piece of writing and I think this works perfectly.
It isn't pretentious or smug; it is just Dundee being Dundee and that's pretty darn good.
