The Champ is back! Heavyweight champion - lightweight edition (slimmed down from 50 to 15 pounds) \"This is not a book. This is a monument on paper, the most megalomaniacal book in the history of civilization, the biggest, heaviest, most radiant thing ever printed - Ali"s last victory.\" - Der Spiegel, Hamburg This monumental publication first published in TASCHEN"s limited collector"s editions is now finally available in a popular hardcover edition! Universally acclaimed as the greatest sportsman of the modern era, someone who transformed not just his sport but the cultural status of athletes everywhere, Muhammad Ali still towers over the \"sweet science\" of boxing, more than three decades after announcing his retirement.
