Boxing Books you should DEFINITELY check out...

[Mr. Ryan]

Also "The Life And Times of Muhammad Ali" by Thomas Hauser. VERY GOOD READ

It's a very good read but it was more like a compilation of assorted interviews from Ali, his family, his handlers and essentially anyone who came in contact with him.

"irish thunder" the book about micky ward is great... whatever happened to them making that book into a movie? brad pitt and marky mark were supposed to be in it?? mickys brother ****ie eklund was a freaking NUT!

On the Pac/DLH 24/7 Wahlberg said he has in a ring in his basement because he is training to do the Micky Ward film. When I saw this I assumed it is still in the works. I hope so...

Mark Wahlberg was really born to do that part I feel. He just has that blue-collar Irish-American New Englander look down.

They can do anything with film but... Mickey is a small guy when u see him in person whereas Mark seems like solid 165 pounder or so...

I know, I sat next to Micky during the Malignaggi-Cherry fight in NYC, he was the same size as me.

John, do you know anything about an open class 17-year old named Emanuel "The Suregon" Ortiz, from Springfield, Mass who is trained by Pedro Arriaga. I think he's fighting in the GGs on Feb. 7 at 119.

Its funny, but you can't get a sense of a fighters actual size until you see them in person and up close. I met George Foreman in Atlantic city and he was much bigger than I expected. On the other hand, I met Marvin Hagler in NH and he was much smaller than I though he would be even though i had been around many boxers before. Naseem Hamed walked by me during his ring entrance against Augie Sanchez and I felt like I was 2 feet taller than him and Im only 5'10" and a half.
