Muhammad Ali:

A View from the corner

by Ferdie Pacheco M.D.

ï¿½

In Muhammad Ali: A View from the Corner, the doctor examines Ali'sï¿½ entireï¿½career - from his early early victories, his membership in the Blackï¿½ Muslimï¿½brotherhood, and his suspension from boxing due to his refusal toï¿½ serve in theï¿½Vietnam War ("I got nothing against those Vietcong") to hisï¿½ return to the ringï¿½and his emergence as Muhammad Ali,ï¿½ the Champion of Champions.

ï¿½

ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ Pacheco was an insider from the beginning, and his view's on Ali'sï¿½ family,ï¿½friends, and lovers are fresh and revealing. The book is pepperedï¿½ throughoutï¿½with on-the-scene sketches and rare photographsï¿½ from his personal collection.

ï¿½

ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ Readers will relive Ali's bruising matches with Joe Frazier (whom heï¿½ foughtï¿½three times), Ken Norton (also three times), and George Foremanï¿½ and otherï¿½heart-stopping bouts in which Ali won or lost by a whisker.ï¿½ Pacheco sadlyï¿½recalls how Ali's career went on a downward spiral,ï¿½ culminating in hisï¿½disastrous and embarrassing loss to Larry Holmes.ï¿½

ï¿½

ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ It's all here, told from an exclusive ringside seat, in the most intimateï¿½ bookï¿½ever written about Muhammad Ali.
