The Best and worst boxing autobiographyies books?

[cotto16]

For me the best were jake la motta, teddy atlas, johnny nelson, arron pryor and larry holmes. The worst oscar de la hoya, it must of tuck him a couple of days to write, besides the early part of the book were he talks about growing up and his family the rest is garbage

Nigel benn's was dire

Eubank,Calzaghe,Tszyu,Tapia,Hatton

Just some of the auto's i've read that turned out to be a good book

Most of them are great IMO. Boxers usually lead incredible lives.

But i agree, i found ODLH's to be boring and obvious. Hardly found out anything new really, i guess because his life has been so highly publicized. Maybe not his fault but it made the book painful for me

he may never have been a professional but check out lenny mcleans book,its a great read

Johnny Nelson?, please elaborate.

Battling Siki. It's like a plate with a great steak on it. But the sides are also incredible.

Meaning, you get a lot about him, but the other facts/opinions in the book are interesting, historically.

Lennny MacLeans is great, and Roy Shaw's is exellent..
I started reading Bruno's but found it boring and couldnt get into it!
