"John L. Sullivan:
The Career of the First Gloved Heavyweight Champion"
By ADAM POLLACK
Preface: Why I Undertook This Project and Why You Should Read It
Before reading this book you should ask yourself why you are willing to invest your
valuable time in it as opposed to many others that you could select. I have written a book
that is unique among boxing books. It is not going to give the same facts and stories that
other books continually regurgitate and steal from each other, adding nothing further to
history. It will be revealing and informative even to seasoned historians, for it is the
most thoroughly researched and detailed accounting of legendary champion John L.
Sullivan's career. (To download the rest of the preface,

adobe acrobat.)
Adam Pollack is a CBZ staff writer, a boxing coach, and an attorney. For details
