    Some Good Boxing Books I've Read...





    The Teddy Atlas book is great, I recommend that to any boxing fan. Its amazing how much Atlas has went through. I couldn't stop reading that book. The Tyson book is great, covers Mike's whole career. This is the best Tyson book I ever read. His fans should read this. I'm still reading the Ali one, but from what I've read so far its a great book.

    Anyone else have some good boxing related books to share?

    I didnt like ATLAS. it started out real good but it got very cheesy and corny toward the end.


    -I have 3 chapters left, and its been really an amazing book so far


    -One of the best books ive ever read, boxing or not.


    -Heart wrenching, really is. Very well told.


    -Probably the best book ive read on boxing. I really loved it. Not all on boxing though, a lot on WW2 politics

              great. if ur seeing for the first time though, u might be dissapointed. Cause its old, but its aged well.

              It was a good book. very interesting, u would definetly enjoy it if u read it. But it gets very cheesy and corny towards the end, i think everyone would agree, even those who really enjoyed it.

              Like in one part he trains this ballet dancer... i dont wanna ruin anything but its coooooooorny

                People don't believe me when I tell them how much better the book is rather than the movie. Do you agree?

                  absolutely. the movie doesnt do anything about his childhood and his childhood is awsome... the book was sooo good.

                    I'm reading "Tunney" right now. Great book and a lot of boxing history in it.
