For me the best were jake la motta, teddy atlas, johnny nelson, arron pryor and larry holmes. The worst oscar de la hoya, it must of tuck him a couple of days to write, besides the early part of the book were he talks about growing up and his family the rest is garbage

Most of them are great IMO. Boxers usually lead incredible lives.
But i agree, i found ODLH's to be boring and obvious. Hardly found out anything new really, i guess because his life has been so highly publicized. Maybe not his fault but it made the book painful for me

Battling Siki. It's like a plate with a great steak on it. But the sides are also incredible.
Meaning, you get a lot about him, but the other facts/opinions in the book are interesting, historically.
Battling Siki: A Tale of Ring Fixes, Race and Murder In The 1920, by Peter Benson.
