Description
What makes a boxer truly great? And how far must greatness travel before the world recognises it?
The Hardest Road examines one of boxing’s most enduring arguments: how should greatness be judged when fighters competed in different eras, under different circumstances, and against very different obstacles?
Moving beyond undefeated records, championship belts and familiar rankings, Darren J. Murphy explores the careers of remarkable fighters whose achievements demand closer examination.
Some became household names. Others were denied opportunities, overlooked by history or measured against standards that failed to account for the circumstances of their careers.
Through historical research, career analysis and an examination of boxing’s changing landscape, The Hardest Road challenges readers to reconsider what achievement, opposition, opportunity and legacy really mean.
Greatness is not always found in the record. Sometimes it is found in the road a fighter had to travel.
A substantial work of boxing history from Murphy Boxing Books, written for readers who believe the sport’s past deserves more than easy answers.
