        I can vouch for this book. Just finished it sometime ago and it was amazing. Every page was very well written and very interesting. Long, but definately worth the read.

          Unforgivable Blackness

          A great read. Well researched, well writing, covers all aspects of Jack Johnson's life.

            Yep. Just love the insight it gives, especially on someone like Toney, and where that rage he has comes from. Love the overall tone too, melancholic and personal.

            It was such a good read, I remember being in bed with my girl, and she was mad horny, but I couldn't put the book down

                This is one of my personal favorites. Amazing read and really inspiring. Awesome book:

                Pacman: My Story of Hope, Resilience, and Never-Say-Never Determination



                http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/142...9EAY1VZ2CADEF1


                And this is my second favorite book. It is pretty entertaining and fun to read. Awesome book. Gives you a lot of cool insight:

                PacMan: Behind the Scenes with Manny Pacquiao--the Greatest Pound-for-Pound Fighter in the World

                    Lol yeah. I had plans to go out the days I was reading the book, but ultimately decided the book. It was just so absorbing. And yes I like the insight on Toney. It's almost as though he became friends with the author and to be honest Toney comes accross as a decent guy with a good heart but a bad temper.

                    On a side note I always wondered why Holyfield was on the cover when he wasn't really part of the book, lol.

                    I don't have anything on the Pac Man, but I'm a bit against biographies written in the MIDDLE of a boxers prime.
