I really enjoyed the book "Atlas", Teddy's autobiography. It talks in detail about his time training Tyson and Moorer. I really recommend it.

Picked up Inside the Ropes by Arthur Mercante today. Looks pretty good, but haven't really started reading yet.
Details his experiences as a boxing referee. Talks about fighters like Sugar Ray Leonard, Ali, Dempsey, Hagler, Foreman. He refereed the Ali Frazier fight.Comment

The only ones I can recommend are visual books.
I have Ken Regan's "Knockout" and it's AWESOME. Huge mother ****er to carry, but it's a great detailed and large scaled book.
"An Illustrated History of Boxing" by Nat Fleischer is fantastic. Such rare images...the only downfall is they're all in black and white.
"Goat: Tribute to Mohamed Ali" is absolutely massive.
"Fight" Philippe di Folco is another illustrated volume that describes the art of combat in all areas.
"Boxing: An Illustrated History of the Fight Game by Peter Brooke-Ball is the one I'd recommend the most. Includes illutrated biographies of the champions and more than 100 epic encounters in detail.
A more recent is "The Ultimate Encyclopedia of Boxing" by Harry Mullan and Bob Mee.Comment
