Men of Iron
Introduction
Men of Iron is an unfinished essay on boxing in which Howard examines a small class of fighters distinguished by their extraordinary ability to absorb punishment without being knocked out. He discusses five boxers as examples and considers the physical or neurological qualities that might account for such endurance.
The essay was first published in The Iron Man in 1976 by Grant.
