I picked up this Teddy Atlas autobiography 'From streets to the ring' for about 13Euro.
Holy **** it was the best 13Euro I ever spent. The best book I have read this year and one of the best boxing books I've ever read. Simple amazing journey brilliantly told. I have to admit I didn't have a great knowledge of the man and his segments on ESPN tended to annoy me...but now that I understand the man I have a whole new appreciation for him and where he comes from.
(Sadly the book does not cover the Atlas curse)
I bought the book on same day I bought Micky Ward's 'Irish Thunder'. Paid twice as much for that one and it wasn't as good as Atlas's. Still good read though.
