Summary: Good title, good reference material
Comment: What strikes me these days is there are no true showmen in the ring anymore, gone are the days when you watched a fight to see a boxer truly batter someone about the ring, getting their fist in at every opportunity - it's more stand back and protect your head. Sure it's never nice to see someone taking a good fist and to see their eye bleeding, but that is the reality. For me, no class is more appealing to watch than around the middle weight - speed, deftness, agility - all great attributes associated with the best boxers. The author has chosen (in my mind) the best and most colourful boxers in history, from the untouchable Sugar Ray to the gritty Hearns and the awesome Marvelous Marvin. If there is one gripe I have that is there should be a conclusion as to which one the author deems to be the real king as, never mind going by four kings, I think he'd be better off by one king.
I'd say a good bit of reference material, but nothing quite beats seeing someone getting a good pounding in the ring and for that, I have my video collection.
