An interesting account of Lawton's career covering the noble art. Lawton's prose is rather dry for taste, lacking the linguistic mastery of Hugh McIlvanney or the "down in the dirt" earthiness of Steve Bunce. All the big names are covered, Lewis, Tyson, Leonard, Ali, etc. and that may be part of the problem. Everything is described from a distance, Lawton doesn't get up close and personal with any of the characters he covers.
