Name some great boxing books you have read

[DIB42]

I heard about this book what would you give it out of ten?

Depends on what you're looking for in a boxing book... I'm pretty harsh/critical, but i'd give it 8.5, its a little dated but its short, its an entertaining read if you're looking for something with an instructional flavor, its written with Ye 'olde American English, so sometimes it gets a little "what the **** is he saying" but i enjoyed it quite a bit.

Yup! Some of the **** Moorer pulled in training camp had me dyin! Teddy seemed like a great trainer though.

The problem I had with the book was that Teddy was trying to come across as a badass, I wasnt sure what to make of that. His history with tyson was fascianting for me as a big Tyson fan. Moorer is a headcase and from the looks of things he still is. Cutting his legs with blades so he doesnt have to train, lol
