Follows the feud between Frazier and Ali, another great read
The four kings:
Follows the careers of the fab four and thier lives outside the ring

You should read its a great book, I was surprised that it had so much info on Toney

You should also read War, baby: The glamour of violence by Kevin Mitchell if you want to find out about McClellan, his "friendship" with Jones and Benn

Jack Dempsey's book... (argh i can't remember the name off the top of my head) its something like championship fist fighting, or something of the like, is an entertaining read, its short, its available in pdf online in many different places for free... I suggest it for someone who doesn't know alot of the mechanics of boxing and wants to get a headstart on knowing what the guys in the ring are doing.

I ordered it from Waterstones, its still available. Basically it follows the writer McRae who interviews the above named fighters from 94-96. Has all kinds of crazy stuff the fallout of Toney Jones, with Toney threatening to kill his mangaer Jackie Kalled, Jones father etc.

I wouldnt recommend buying War,baby it has a lot of filler material maybe your local library can get it for you. If you want ill post up all the relevant quotes next week or so.
