Best boxing books.....

Mi vida loca by Johnny Tapia, great read.

Will check out some of the ones you guys posted, great.

Cut Time, by Carlo Rotella.

Pick up some of Thomas Hauser's compilations, too.

I've got "Muhammed Ali: His life and times", but haven't read it yet. Heard it was excellent though.

I don't know if it would be worth it with the shipping, but here is a link where you can get some good books cheap, and all in excellent condition. If nothing else it'll make a good reference list.

Thanks for the list mate, looks like there is some good books there.

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.

If we're being serious, "Championship Fighting" by Jack Dempsey, and handily.

Budd Schulberg has some great essays about boxing, from the era of Sugar Ray up until quite recently.

Check out a compilation, like this one:
