Off the Ropes: The Ron Lyle Story has universal appeal for readers who want to understand what drives a man to travel a life arc that takes him from gang member, to prisoner for a crime he did not commit, to contending for a world championship, fighting Muhammad Ali for eleven rounds, to accused and acquitted of a second murder, to a redeemed man who became a cherished member of the Denver community where he grew up.
