    I quite liked Sugar Ray Leonards autobiography. I didn't like Oscar Dela Hoya's though.

      Best boxing book I've read:



      Four Kings by George Kimball

      Also Hands of Stone: Life and Legend of Roberto Duran by Christian Giudice is good.




      And

      Muhammad Ali: His Life and Times By Thomas Hauser

        I've read a lot of them, and my personal favorites are

        Sweet Science by A.J. Leibling
        Black lights by Thomas Hauser
        Corner Men by Ronald K. Fried
        Serenity by Ralph Wiley (except the Tyson section)

          Some good reccomendations there, thanks.

          I watched 'The Four kings' on YouTube this morning actually and enjoyed it so the book must be worth a read. Ordered 'Muhammad Ali: His Life and Times' from Amazon on Friday as well.
