The Boxing Books Recommendation Thread

[Porter's Dad]

Boxing books are just a fabulous genre and I'm on a bit of a spree of buying them up. Even the medicore ones have some merit.

What are the books you'd recommend?

Personally, I adored Larry Holmes' autobiography. **** is classic.

Also, what is the definitive and best book on SRR? There's quite a few, so steer me towards the best one, please. Thanks.

The Harder They Fall by Budd Schulberg is a total classic. Loved every minute of it.

Sorcery At Caesar's is also really good. Written recently.

There is this Harry Greb book that I got. It's ****ing sweet. Gives a good round by round for a lot of his fights. It doesn't sound biased, but it gives a good description about Greb and how he fought. It really sounded like he beat Greb in the rematch and got robbed.

Speaking of Tunney, Tunney is a really good book itself.

Also I'd really recommend Cinderella Man. It's a lot better then the movie.

Four Kings and Sorcery at Caesars are both very good.
