And to write about boxing is to be forced to contemplate not only boxing, but the perimeters of civilizationwhat it is, or should be, to be 'human' . . .The sport seems in crisis, its best practitioners no less than its most dubious contaminate by association with fixed fights, manipulated judges, questionable referees. Demands for its abolition are made, indignation is aroused, wellargued editorials are printed, deals continue to be made, boxers continue to be , managed.' occasionally there is a boxing match that, in its demonstration of skill, courage, intelligence, hope, seems to redeem the sportor almost. Perhaps boxing has always been in crisis a sport of crisis.Without doubt, it is our most dramatically 'masculine' sport, and our most dramatically 'selfdestructive' sport. In this, for some for us, its abiding interest lies.'Joyce Carol Oates,from the Foreword
