Thread: Best Boxing Book

Lately I seen some talk around here about books on boxing ive been wanting to read a good book lately and juzz wanted to know which book about boxing is the best?

calzaghes quto is pretty good/

but nigel benns auto is the best ive read so far - he talks about all the bad side of the busineess which is good

I quite liked Teddy Atlas' book. The Devil and Sonny Liston was also a good read.

Four Kings was great. (Hagler, Hearns, Leonard and Duran) Two good Ali books are Redemption Song and The Fight.

Dark Trade is a pretty good book. The writer gets quite close to a young james Toney and he is the highlight of the book.

Do we get a Saddoboxing members discount?

Chubby, are you after something general or a specific fighter?

"This bloody mary is the last thing i own" - is the only boxing book ive read more than once.

thats a lie

also read "War Baby" more than once.

Unforgiveable Blackness is awesome.

Just avoid anything by Burt Sugar. His storys are more like tall-tales.

I've also been considering buying some boxing books since I'm running out of things to read.. so far I've come to the conclusion I'll probably buy "Hands of Stone". I'm also open to reccomendations though!

Ooh good thread, keep the suggestions coming!

Will need somet to read by the pool when in Vegas at the end of the month!

hmm.. ive read alot of them and my faves are Eubanks and Hands of stone
