    Best boxing book you have read?

    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?

            Last book I read was Richard Pryors autobiography "Pryor convictions and other life sentences". I thought it was good. I haven't read any boxing biographies though.

                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 haven't read one.

                  I wanted to write a boxing novel, but knew far too little about the sport in general to do so. I had the story and protagonist down, but **** like training techniques, skills, etc, I was far too ignorant on.

                  Oh, but this thread is about bio's, not fiction.

                    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.
