Larry Fink's crisp images capture the drama in and out of the ring, and they pack a wallop. They also present a powerful argument for the superiority of black-and-white photography over color, which would have weakened their impact considerably. You don't have to be a fan of this brutal sport to appreciate Fink's artistry. Award-winning sportswriter Bert Sugar's essay on the history of boxing is a nice complement to the illustrations. Average Rating:
 Rating: - How Many Words Is A Picture Worth Again?This wonderful book by Larry Fink and Burt Sugar is an instant reminder of the old adage that champions are made not born. These photos capture the daily grind in the gym of aspiring pugilists to full blown pros. An awesome book for any fan of the sweet science. Rating: - A gift for ringside photographerI am not an expert in ring-side photography but bought the item for a gift to a friend of mine who is ring-side photographer. All I can say he was happy. Rating: - PoeticLarry Fink takes the sport of boxing out of standard iconography and makes it his own. His compositions are surprising and arresting in their uniqueness. I admire his uninhibited use of harsh flash and how that helps dramatize the rugged people who live the fight game. His black and white prints are so finely crafted that I can smell the perspiration. Rating:  - Fink's FightersLarry Fink has captured the essence of the heart of boxing throughout this book. He's caught specific moments which go unnoticed on a daily basis in the gym and made them immortal. Most specific and touching are those photos of Fighter and Trainer in the locker room before the fight. An excellent, well written dabble on the history of boxing accompanies the photos as well. nice.
