In his New York Times bestselling memoir, one of America�s greatest boxing legends faces his single greatest competitor: himselfIn Washington, D.C., during the 1970s, a black man could get into the newspapers in one of two ways: crime�or boxing. �Sugar� Ray Leonard chose to fight. After winning a gold medal at the 1976 Olympics, Ray wanted to call it quits and go to college, but his family�s financial needs made him go pro. Boxing history was made. All the while, another, darker Ray�one overwhelmed by depression, rage, drug addiction, sexual abuse, and greed�battled for dominance. In The Big Fight, Ray comes to terms with both these men and shares a brutally honest and remarkably inspiring portrait of the rise, fall, and ultimate redemption of a true fighter�inside and outside the ring.
