Boxing Books

Unforgiveable Blackness, a Jack Johnson biography is by far the best boxing related book I've read in the recent past.

I second the notion on the Gene Tunney book. I've been reading Joe Frazier's instructional Box Like The Pros. It's pretty solid as far as I can tell. :boxing: yeh its a very good read. it would be great for people just starting out in oxing but it also has plenty of things for more experienced guys to learn

I second the notion on the Gene Tunney book. QUOTE] I never said the book on Tunney was any good. SO far it seems boring.

is that one teddy atlas from the streets to the gym book good?

Have you read it? And my pick is Rocky Marciano: Biography of a first son. But it is near impossible to find now and even if you do, it's very expensive. i have read parts of it, its not out yet though

McIlvanney On Boxing is brilliant, if you don't mind a more scholarly read. Link below:- http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_ss_w_h_/026-9929347-0773250?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=mcilvanney+on+boxing

THE ICEMAN DIARIES. sorry i probably spelled it wrong Have you read it? And my pick is Rocky Marciano: Biography of a first son. But it is near impossible to find now and even if you do, it's very expensive.

the best boxing book i have ever read.. and everyone who has read it will agree... is heart soul and fire: paul briggs if u like fiction the power of one is great.

I read it a long time ago but I remember that "On Boxing" by Joyce Carol Oates was surprisingly good ...

Johnny Tapia "Mi Vida Loca" great book. He was a roommate with Mike Tyson at the USA Olympics.

Ive read lots of them, I just finished Teddy Atlas' book, and right now Im reading the book on Gene Tunney. If you actually train you might like "the Gloves" by Robert Anasi caus he talks about his training and the gym etc. "Facing Tyson" sucked. Theres too many that I liked to really pick some, For me, I like boxing so much that I have to read whatever I can get just caus its on boxing.

Teddy Atlas' book is top drawer.

Ghosts of Manilla

THE ICEMAN DIARIES. sorry i probably spelled it wrong
