Overview
Reviews
"For decades it seems, boxing scribes have fussed over one of the unending arguments: Who is, pound for pound, the best fighter of all time? Sugar Ray Robinson is always in that conversation. And should the topic ever pivot to the best writers about the sport, Haygood should be too." —Associated Press
"'Sweet Thunder' is a literary knockout." —Sports Illustrated
"Pound for pound, Sugar Ray Robinson was regarded as the best fighter in boxing during his career. Page for page, Haygood's biography is a dazzling read." —Newark Star-Ledger
"A biography of astonishing depth." —Atlanta Journal-Constitution
