Anyone read Ray Robinson's autobiography?

I thought it was a good book. Don't want to spoil anything for you if you do decide to read it one day. He was a real wild dude. He gives some great insight on some of the fighters he's worked with.

Im gonna have to check it out. Thank man!

ya ben i read it last year ... i really didnt kno much about it and i did find it real interesting. i didnt kno he was a wifebeater!!! his ties with louis were real interesting too

Robinson had serious, serious demons regarding him inflicting violence to his family, to say the least.

Louis had one incident in which he choked a mistress, but I don't know if it was a common thing like it was with Ray.

A great documentary about Robinson was the HBO doc "Bright Lights and Dark Shadows".

I watched a couple of Louis documentaries but they always end up being depressing.

The Duran bio was very good. Seemed pretty balanced too, not excessively pro-Duran or hero-worshipping. Regarding No Mas, the writer simply gave many different viewpoints of different people without passing judgement.
