I was recently reading a bit about boxing, and I read this great book called The Arc of Boxing that I would recommend to people. I didn't mention this to you, incidentally, but it's a fun book.
Why people recommend it
The Arc of Boxing by Mike Silver is an insightful and comprehensive historical analysis of the evolution of boxing tactics, styles, and athletes. Carl Kawaja mentioned the book on Invest Like the Best during an episode discussing regime change and Muhammad Ali. While introducing his thoughts on the sport of boxing, Kawaja noted that he had recently been reading a bit about the subject and came across this great book. He told listeners that he would definitely recommend it to anyone interested in the topic, adding that it is ultimately a very fun book to read. Kawaja did not delve into specific tactical chapters or biographical deep dives during the broadcast, but his endorsement served as a welcoming gateway for listeners curious about the sweet science and the broader historical context of legendary fighters like Ali. The recommendation highlights the book's appeal not just to die-hard historians of the ring, but also to casual fans looking for an engaging and entertaining read about a brutal, fascinating sport.
