  • What are some great books on boxing/boxers?

    Just wondering if anyone else here reads books on boxing/boxers like I do. Pretty much every book on boxing I have enjoyed I'm not really picky but a few of my favorites are:

    Hands of Stone by Christian Giudice
    PacMan by Gary Andrew Poole
    The Big Fight by Sugar Ray Leonard

    I want to read Sorcery at Ceasars but I haven't had time to read lately

      If you can find it online it's called The Gloves a boxing chronical. It's really good it's a true story about an up and coming amateur boxer who joins the sport late in his 20's. it takes place in New York and takes u threw the whole process of a fighter coming up the hard way. I found it at the library picked it up and liked it alot

            I'm almost finished reading a boxing novel I checked out of the library called Pound for Pound. It's about a trainer and a upcoming boxer. It's a great book. The author F.X. Toole also wrote the story Million Dollar Baby about the female boxer that was made into a movie.
