          Dark Trade by Donald McRae is the best boxing book I've ever read. Also worth a look is The Fight, by Norman Mailer.

                    Hands of Stone is ace.

                    Ghost of Manilla....is a weird read. Intersting in a way to see a different opinion of Ali, but the writer comes across as pretty mean spirited and hateful.
