Of the press sports photographers of the '30s, '40s and '50s, Charles Hoff was considered far and away the best for his ability to bring out the visual drama of an athletic event. Seething with the raw dynamism of the boxing ring, the stunning, classic black and white photoraphs of Hoff are interwoven with remarkable writings on boxing by A.J. Leibling, Jimmy Cannon, William Nack, James Baldwin and Mark Kram plus an insightful biographical profile of Hoff by Journalist Richard Woodward.
