      I've read a few. One of my favorites chronicled the fights between Hagler, Hearns, Leonard and Duran; think it was called Four Kings. Another good one is "A fighter's Heart", book follows a few fighters at various stages of their careers. Also enjoyed a books on George Foreman, Jack Johnson, Ali and Mike Tyson.

        I really loved THE FIGHT by Norman Mailer.

        FOUR KINGS by George Kimball was great also.

        THE GOOD SON by Mark Kriegel was a good read too.

            I read Oscars bio thing that stood out was how surprised he was that Floyd knocked out Hatton as he considered him featherfisted.

            The best one I probably read was the four kings.

              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?
              If you want to read a really good book on boxing, I recommend a book by my good friend and true boxing historian Ted 'the bull' Sares. It's called "Boxing is My Sancutuary". It's a true boxing fans books. Look it up.

                      Right on, Ted the bull Sares is a former amateur fighter from the 50's and has followed boxing since the 40's. So the book talks boxing and about various boxers and fighters from then until the late 90's.
