    Default Has anyone on this forum read , Hands of Stone'?

    Thought it was a cracking book myself , although many of the anecdotes and the stories i was familiar with I though the author did a good job .
    It wasnt as good as Dark Trade' which remains unbeatable as Duran was in his Lightweight Prime .

    Read it last year and really liked it.

    Great research and the fights are detailed really well.

    Well worth a read.

    Read it in the hospital after jaw surgery last year. Read in two days. Great book. Not familiar with 'Dark Trade' but I have heard of 'Four Kings' I'll have to check them out. Maybe I'll break something so I'll have time to read again.

    I hope there is a chapter for every round of the Cotto fight.

    The final chapter will be written by Miguel when he knocks MargaCheater the phuk out in the rematch.

    Or it will conclude with the end of the rematch by saying: "Margarito was just outclassed by Mosely, and it is no shame to be beat by the Hall of Famer. But after Cotto sat slumped on his stool after the rematch, it was evident that Cotto had been the product of careful matchmaking and that Margarito was truly born to defeat people like him."
