Great book, but there is more to the story

I loved this book because I love boxing. The book takes you through the history of boxing, from the beginning when fights didn't have round limits, to a section of future stars.It also has sections related to women's boxing, trainers and promoters.Although the book is very informative I resented the fact that it doesn't present the darker side of boxing, specially scandals and fixed fights.If you buy this book keep in mind that the future stars section is a little outdated, since many of the profiled boxers are either actual stars or have fallen to other fighter. An example is David Reid which presented as a future star, but he was badly beaten by Felix Trinidad.
