Book Overview and Description:
Oscar de la Hoya: Boxing’s Boy Wonder (mistitled in some registries as “Wonder Boy”) is a 48-page biography written by Robert Taylor and published on June 1, 1993, by Rourke Enterprises, Inc. Released as part of “The Winning Spirit” series, this book was primarily formatted as a hardcover library binding aimed at juvenile and young adult audiences (reading levels for grades 4–6).
• Content: The biography chronicles the early life and rapid ascent of the Mexican American boxing sensation. It places major emphasis on his landmark achievement winning the Olympic Gold Medal at the 1992 Barcelona Games at just 19 years old—the historic event that solidified his “Golden Boy” persona.
• Visuals & Structure: The book features a wealth of full-color photographs tracking his amateur fights and early professional debut. It contains a bibliography/further reading section and an index at the back.
• Binding: The book features illustrated, glossy hardcovers. It was intentionally issued without a dust jacket, meaning the cover art is printed directly onto the boards.
