So great were Robinson's skills, he was eulogized by Woody Allen, compared to Joe Louis, and praised by Muhammad Ali, who called him \"the king, the master, my idol.\" But the same discipline that Robinson brought to the sport eluded him at home, leading him to emotionally and physically abuse his family -- particularly his wife, the gorgeous dancer Edna Mae, whose entrepreneurial skills helped Robinson build an empire to which Harlemites were inexorably drawn. Exposing Robinson's flaws as well as putting his career in the context of his life and times, renowned journalist and bestselling author Herb Boyd, with Ray Robinson II, tells for the first time the full story of a complex man and sport-altering athlete.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Herb Boyd, Ray Robinson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0060934387\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780060934385\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Amistad Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/03\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 6.40w x 0.81d","brand":"Herb Boyd","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43990060761343,"sku":"9780060934385","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_486dc2c5-07f6-4309-a66a-1d137f187d4a.jpg?v=1683302775","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pound-for-pound-herb-boyd-9780060934385","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
