    "KNOCKOUT: THE ART OF BOXING" What an AWSOME book!!!

    I just got in the mail from my parents this book.

    They left the price tag on it, and it cots 75 bucks, but its soooo worth it.

    Its a MASSIVELY oversized book, with never seen before photos of ALI, TYSON, FOREMAN and FRAZIER, with many many many other pictures inside of it as well. Its also got some articles here and there that are fantastic

    If u like boxing photos, i highly recomend.

    Another book i picked up on my own a few weeks ago is "FIGHT TOWN," which is an article/photo book on LAS VEGAS fights, and its amazing as well

    So if you dont like reading all the much, but love photos and that kind of stuff, i highly reccomend it.

    Theres one photo i just wanna bring up real quick. Its CASSIUS CLAY in the ring after the LISTON fight and he's holding up 8 fingers, and its a never seen before photo it says... and its really a breathtaking shot. amazing. its in the KNOCKOUT book.

      Thanks man, I'm gonna put it on my books to get list. I usually buy 3-4 books a month to read duirng my morning communte. This seems a bit more like a home book though and the price will make it a post holiday purchase.

              Yeah, I have a couple of nice large NFL, College Football and NCAA Wrestling books with great picks and history that I keep in my den/reading room/home office. The quality of the pictures is always magnificient in these books especially if your use to viewing images from your pc.

                    Yeah, I've read it and it is very good. I enjoyed it. By the time I finished the book I became convinced that Teddy Atlas is a complete lunatic, but it is an entertaining read.
