Boxing Books?

[Gareth Ivanovic]

I have read a few boxing books like the Jesus Chavez story, Teddy Atlas book, Jack Johnson's book, few Ali books and also a Sugar Ray Robinson book. I want to read more and I just wanted your guys opinion on some good boxing books that are out there.

WAR BABY! By Kevin Mitchell - This book is about Gerald McClellan and Nigel Benn. Excellent.

The Dark Trade. By Donald Mcrae.

Chris Eubank autobiography.

Rope Burns - Can't recall who wrote this book but it was a good read.

The Shadows of Boxing - Geoffrey Beattie

There's plenty more, but they should keep you busy.
