There is only one question which really matters: why do bad things happen to good people? Out of a faith-shaking & senseless waste of a life comes this remarkable & caring book which will help many. It has sensible & unorthodox & mind-opening things to say about God
- & about ourselves. Its author has wisdom & no bitterness. We can learn from him about acceptance & guilt & despair & the helplessness we all feel when none of it makes sense when we say why them? or worse why us?. We owe him our thanks"
- David Kossoff. " Rabbi Kushner writes from a wealth of Jewish wisdom & pastoral devotion but his theology is I find is wholly in keeping with contemporary Christian thought. So far as there is an answer to the conflict between the goodness of God & the bitterness of suffering this is it"

Its a beautifully illustrated tribute to an age when the noble art was a little more dignified & a little less preoccupied with money & the politics of sport. Its about a time when there werent quite so many governing bodies nor multiple world champions viewed only by tiny audiences on pay-per-view channels; a time when boxing was once regarded as the pinnacle of professional sporting endeavour & not just a lucrative arm of the leisure & entertainment business. This is no whitewash of boxing history. As the chapters show the toughest game has an often murky past. But in its portrayal of the great pugilists & their finest bouts the famous arenas & the colourful characters When Boxing Was Boxing brings to vivid life the atmosphere raw spectacle & sheer excitement of this most brutal yet compelling of sporting theatre. With special features on the sports grassroots its particular customs culture & curiosities & its more lighthearted moments this is an affectionate & wonderfully nostalgic look at a time when boxing really was boxing.
