It's not bad. Pretty easy read.
Im studying Leonardo da Vincis life and works. But doing so has turned my interest to his master teacher Andrea del Verrocchio who was an amazing real life sculptor in stone and bronze whos works are unsurpassed.
Turns out Michalangelo hated Leonardo and took a few swipes at his work but Leonardo was the main man and didnt retort in kind. Me being a third generation marble mason these guys lives fascinate me.
I wish leon spinks would do his autobio.....i wanna know how much coke he did between ali fights.
Just about to start this after listening to a radio documentary with the authour.

Apparently in those days there were different work shops all over Florence each with a Master and his apprentices and much of the time they would tag team large painting jobs so artists works were sometimes blends because one would have to go off somewhere else if a big job came up and others would finish off for them. There was some animosity between the different work shops over big jobs too, bit of jealousy got around.
Presume you mean Leonard's The Big Fight... I was looking for training info, tips/tidbits, mentality, etc. and there was almost nothing like that. Decent read - disappointed in lack of technical tidbits ... ages ago, read Larry Holmes autobio and there were sprinkled throughout tidbits. I've not read other bios of Sugar Ray Leonard's (yet).
