          Lots of good books out there, the one I find myself reading the most over the years is "In This Corner"

            Another great one is Boxing: A Cultural History by Kassia Boddy, but its hard as **** to read lol, really challenging but very interesting.

              Four Kings by George Kimball
              Ali by Thomas Hauser
              Rocky Marciano by Russell Sullivan

              3 best boxing books I've read. Evander Holyfield's autobiography was decent but not as good as these above!!

                I really liked Joe Loius' autobiography and Thomas Hausers biography about Ali. "Unforgivable blackness" was a very good read too. "Charley Burley and the black murderers row" was pretty good. But the best boxing book I've read is Douglas Century's biography "Barney Ross". As well as being an all time great fighter Ross was a fascinating person as well as a decorated war hero. I highly recomend this book to anyone who enjoys or is interested in boxing history.
