    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Howard Davis Jr. left the 1976 Montreal Olympics with lightweight gold and the Val Barker Trophy as the tournament’s outstanding boxer. Fifty years later, his professional career offers the most surprising outcome from that celebrated American team: all four of his fellow gold medalists won major world titles. Davis never did. The United States collected five gold medals, one silver and one bronze in Montreal. The team eventually produced five professional world champions, including three heavyw

    Sam Langford: Boxing’s Greatest Non-Champion (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Sam Langford fought professionally from 1902 to 1926, building one of the most remarkable careers in boxing history without receiving a shot at a universally recognized world championship. Born in Weymouth, Nova Scotia, Langford moved to Boston as a teenager and developed into a fearsome boxer-puncher. The racial nickname attached to him during that period was the “Boston Tar Baby,” although he was also known as the “Boston Terror.” Langford was only 5 feet 7½ inches tall, yet he competed from l

    How Canelo Alvarez Took Golovkin’s Rivalry Away (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    September became the defining month of the rivalry between Gennadiy Golovkin and Saul “Canelo” Alvarez. Their three fights took place during that month in 2017, 2018, and 2022, but the trilogy did not tell one continuous story. Each bout showed the balance of power moving farther away from Golovkin.

He spent much of the fight pursuing Canelo, controlling the ring with his jab and forcing the Mexican star to w
