      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.
      No need for anyone here to lookf for this. The whole thing was posted on BS at various points in the past year.

        I know of pretty much all the details of Eubanks life down to his circumsizion and eating habits. Thanks Juy. When I am having sex I often think of what Chris has had for dinner to prolong cumming. That was a suggestion a poster made once.

            LOL, didn't realise that. Still, it's worth a read IMO.

                Here is a book I DO NOT recommend.

                "The Sweet Science Goes Sour"

                It's like hearing from someone who just watched fight videos.

                ...Someone who knows very little about the sport on when Tyson bit Holyfield, or when Duran quit against Leonard.. Utterly pointless.

                  Is the Rocky book really good? Its the only boxing book I can find at my local book stores other than the Atlas book, which I have read.

                    You can find the Rocky book in your bookstore? It went out of print in '77.

                    And yes, it's absolutely brilliant.
