	Boxing in the 1960s - Biocrawler
		During the 1960s, boxing, like mostly everything else around the world, went through changing times.
		The decade of the 1960s is best remembered by the insurgence of a young boxer named Cassius Clay, who would, in his own words shock the world, declare himself against war, and change his name to Muhammad Ali.
		The first world champions from Venezuela and Thailand, among other countries, were crowned during the 1960s, and the WBA and WBC started competing against each other, after the WBA changed its name from the National Boxing Association in 1962 and a group of people split from the WBA in 1963 to form the WBC.

		Following a rigged boxing match between Terry McGovern and Joe Gans in December of 1900, prizefighting was banned in the city early in 1901, a ban upheld for more than a quarter century.
		Since the early 1960s, boxing in the city has been basically a club sport, with fight cards featuring local boxers holding matches in hotels, many promoted by former heavyweight champion Ernie Terrell (a product of the West Side).

		Boxing, nicknamed the "sweet science" and also called pugilism or prizefighting, is a sport where two participants of similar weight attack each other with their fists in a series of one to three-minute intervals called "rounds".
		The World Boxing Association even stripped a fighter of his championship in 1983 because the fight had been a 15-round bout, shortly after the rule was changed to 12 rounds.
		By 1988, to the displeasure of many boxing purists, all fights had been reduced to a maximum of 12 rounds only, partially for safety, and partially for television, as a 12-round bout could take one hour to broadcast, while a 15-round bout could requre 90 minutes to broadcast.

	Writings by Mike Marqusee on politics, culture and sport - anti-war - cricket - Bob Dylan - Muhammad Ali
		But as an Ali fan who idolised the great man from my days in school in the 1960s for reasons that went way beyond the handsome heavyweight’s prowess in the ring, this reviewer must admit that the most satisfactory answer to the question is to be found, at last, in Mike Marqusee’s compact masterpiece.
		It is a masterly recollection of the revolutionary events of the 1960s in Black America with Ali as the central figure, as influential a hero of his era as such figures as Malcolm X and Dr. Martin Luther King.
		In the 1960s and 1970s, every Ali victory, in the ring and outside, was a major step forward for the fls in the U.S. And African American sports heroes have come a long way from the days when Ali was reviled as a traitor in his own country.

		Unseating boxing as the supreme made-for-TV sport, slow-motion replay technology made chaotic combat on the gridiron into an aesthetic experience in which even the most grotesque display of brutality (for example, the snapping of Joe Theismann's leg) became a thing of beauty, a kind of improvised ballet of violent masculinity.

	Fellowship of the Ring - Boxing, Courage and Philosophy, by Gordon Marino
		At the university where I did my graduate studies, colloquia were nothing less than academic gunfights in which the goal was to fire off a question that would sink the lecturer low.
		Then I made the mistake of making myself an object lesson by noting that I had boxed for years and still seemed to be able to put my thoughts together.
		However, in a tight moral spot I would be more inclined to trust someone who has felt like he or she was going under than someone who has experienced danger only vicariously, on the couch watching videos.

	In the fight for black freedom
		In a crowded, often cataclysmic, but always eventful century, how is it that a single sportsperson who dominated the world of heavyweight boxing in the 1960s and 1970s has come to enjoy the sort of fame that has eluded some of the greatest political leaders, scientists and artists of the twentieth century?
		In the 1960s and 1970s, every Ali victory, in the ring and outside, was a major step forward for the fls in the U.S. And African American sports heroes have come a long way from the days when Ali was reviled as a traitor in his own country.
		In a larger historical perspective, what was witnessed in the 1960s was merely a battle, for the war itself is still on.

		Now undisputed as the best boxing film ever made and widely named as the best film of the 1980's, Martin Scorsese's movie undoes as many of the formulae of boxing films as it revitalizes.

Norman Mailer, Joyce Carol Oates and Ishmael Reed have all published serious books on boxing.
