HARD ROAD TO GLORY
Book ID/图书代码： 01930010B40865
English Summary/英文概要： KEY POINTS:
A self-confessed coward, Johnny Nelson hoped his opponents wouldn’t turn up. He twice froze when given the chance to take the world title. Glenn McCrory declared: ‘He’s scared. I don’t think he’ll ever do it now’ and even Johnny’s mother mocked him. But by the time of his recent retirement, Johnny Nelson had been undefeated world cruiserweight champion for seven years.
Now Johnny relates his moving, funny, frank and inspirational story: an amazing odyssey from chump to champ. Legendary trainer Brendan Ingle, who produced a string of champions including Naseem Hamed, described Nelson as ‘the biggest success story from our gym.’ He might have added that the skinny kid from the wrong side of Sheffield was also the least likely to succeed.
Nelson had a stubborn streak. Determined not to let early failures stop him, he went into exile, taking fights all over the world to learn his craft. Finally, nine years after being booed from the ring, he earned the respect of everyone.
Along the way he encountered the dark side of boxing: the drugs, the gangsters and the gamblers who wanted him to fix fights. He fell out with his best mates Herol Graham and Naseem Hamed and for the first time reveals exactly why they no longer talk. He tells the terrifying story of a plot to kidnap him.
Johnny Nelson’s story will appeal beyond fight fans as a straightforward, honest account of overcoming personal fears and terrible setbacks to become the best in the world.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 要点：约翰尼•尼尔森自认为是一个懦夫，希望他的对手不会露面。在两次获得世界冠军头衔的机会面前他都不知所措而与成功失之交臂。格伦•麦克洛里扬言：“他是害怕了。我认为他不会成功，甚至他母亲嘲笑他时也不会”。但是当他最近退休时，约翰尼•尼尔森已经是世界重量级七连冠了。
现在，约翰尼讲述他感人、有趣、坦诚而又鼓舞人心的故事——一次从懦夫到冠军的奥德赛之旅。传奇教练布伦丹•英格尔(曾培养出一连串冠军，包括纳西姆•哈米德)形容尼尔森是“他所在的体育场获得的最大成功”。他还补充说，这个仿佛来自英国谢菲尔德、仿佛来错地方的干瘦小孩当初怎么看都是最不可能成功的一个。
尼尔森有一个固执的习惯。为了决心不让早期的失败阻碍他的发展，他选择放逐自己，通过到世界各地战斗磨练技能。最终被吹嘘喝倒彩九年之后，他赢得了所有人的尊重。
一路走来，他遭遇到了拳击界的黑暗面——毒品、流氓和想要他摆平争斗的赌徒。他遇到了最好的伴侣海洛•格雷厄姆和纳西姆•哈米德，并第一次披露他们互不理睬的原因。他讲述了一个可怕的绑架的阴谋故事。
约翰尼纳尔逊的故事吸引的不仅仅是拳击迷，这是一个直率、坦诚的故事，讲述了一个人如何克服个人内心恐惧，并战胜可怕的挫折，最终成为世界第一的历程。(兼职翻译-JDM)
