I can't remember which one I have but it's the one where Ray Robinson's son wrote it or had a foreward in it, it was a really good read.

his autobiography is kinda like a bio

I just finished reading Pound for Pound. It wasn't bad. It gave you a good sense of his life and even some of his dark side.

My only complaint is that people said he was kinda aarogant and they never really showed why. Also I would have liked if they would have focused on his dark side a little more. They try to make him the victim.

Positive is that it doesn't have cheesy stuff like Oscar's book.

I read that many years ago. It was interesting, but not what I would call revealing. Ray definitely had a dark side.
