    Honest boxing books

    Can anyone recommend any boxing books, nothing specific anything than a boxing fan can enjoy. Preferably something honest and not just bias biographies about how much that boxer loves themselves.

    I found 'Four Kings' by George Kimball to be quite enjoyable.

    It's about the era of fights between Leonard, Duran, Hagler and Hearns.

    Kimball covered all those fights, so he has some great notes/insights into what was going on behind the scenes as well.

          you can't be serious..

          four kings is about as biased a boxing book as you can find and OP asked specifically for one that was objective.

          george kimball rides ray leonards d!ck as if he had liquid gold in his balls.
