The Devil and Sonny Liston

It's hard to Overrate Nick Tosches, but some hipsters manage. I quote his bography of Sonny Liston here, when he was at what I expect post-humously will be considered his peak.

"I did not know that it would also reveal the forces of another, unexplored darkness, an underworld unto itself and I did not know, above all , that it would reveal a soul that, even amid the darkness in which it dwealt, eluded all concepts of good and evil, of right and wrong, of light and darkness themselves."
