Ever wanted to know which sport has the fittest participants? Which is the most dangerous? Or, more importantly, are sumo wrestlers fat but fit - or just plain fat? By its own admission, Who Would Win a Fight Between Muhammad Ali and Bruce Lee? is “the sports fan’s book of answers”.
With help from the professionals, Hobbes covers all manner of sporting subjects, ranging from the practical (“why do cyclists shave their legs?”) to the philosophical (“should performance enhancing drugs be allowed in sport?”). Where possible, the author gives definitive answers to oft-asked questions, and, where categorical answers are impossible, provides us with information enough to continue with the debate amongst ourselves - perhaps you’d like to engage Boris Johnson in a discussion over why the Olympic Games have (almost) never made a profit?
It may be aimed in the general direction of the sports fanatic, but the book is thought-provoking and facetious enough to entertain even the least sporty of characters.
