Best boxing book you have read?

[W1LL]

Recent ones off the top of my head...

Carl Froch - came across really bitter about Joe Calzaghe
Joe Calzaghe - a good read
Johnny Nelson - a really good book
Michael Watson - worth a read
Roberto Duran - alright, nothing great
Jack Johnson - worth reading

I'm intending to read Sugar Ray Leonard's book soon, but currently stuck on "The History of Ireland in 250 Episodes".

[d0peyyy]

"In This Corner" by Peter Heller, provides great insight from some of boxings greatest trainers.

"The Fearless Harry Greb" Awesome ****ing book about the legend of Harry Greb

The only boxing book I've ready was an Ali bio, when I was in 2nd grade. I was supposed to do a report on any figure in history. Picking up that book was almost by chance but it massively influenced my life, even though I never became an Ali fan per-se.

I read a few Ali books didnt find any decent ones though
My girl got me one for Xmas I haven't even looked at it haha

Looking back, the book I read was just ghost-writer fluff. But, for a little kid at the time, it was world-changing. I KO'd my first bully not long after that. lol Not joking either.


BTW, is that a real Tyson quote in that pic? If so, that's awesome. Going on my list.

Yeah Ali changed me too
Watched when we were kings and that was it haha
It's why I'm so ****y but hey it aint bragging if you can back it up
Good for you with the bully
Been there
And as far as I know yeah,Tyson has a lot of quoteable's

I recently read "Blood Brothers: The Fatal Friendship Between Muhammad Ali and Malcolm X". It's not exclusively about boxing and more about his relationship to malcolm x and his religous belief,
but nevertheless the book had some interesting insights about Alis life.

Yeah I read a similar one
Couldn't get into it though

Just remembered
Facing Tyson is a good one
Interviews with all his opponents
Lennox
Buster
Evander

Did you like calzaghe's
Not me though I did like the story when his old man marched him out to fight a group of lads in Wales
And how he had his nose broke in a pub
Actually thinking back I have read worse

[SterlingStained]

I have read a few
Khan's
Calzaghe's
Hatton's
Mayweather's
Pacquiao's
Eubank's ( highly recommend )
Frazier's
A few about the history on the sports origin's
The encyclopaedia of boxing is a good series
It literally list's every title fight that ever happened
Anyway
Ever read any good one's?

[*TonyMontana*]

Sweet
Will order that too
Thanks
