Thread: Atlas

Just finished Teddy Atlas's biography and I have to admit it's a helluva read. Loyalty and fear are two recurring themes and he talks in depth about his relationships with Tyson and Lalonde going pear shaped. If you come across it, I highly recommend it...

CC for the recommend....Always looking for a good read about the sport....

It is just self titled Atlas?

"Atlas, From the Streets to the Ring: A Son's Struggle to Become a Man" is the full title Daxx, by Teddy Atlas and Peter Alson.


I also recommend 'Cut Time' by Carlo Rotella, 'Falling Hard' by Chris Jones and anything by Tom Hauser...

Thanks for the info.....I have read Hauser's stuff always a good read

Has anybody read "Facing Tyson"? Not sure who the author is, but it is suppose to contain interviews with some of Tyson's opponents. Just wondering if it is a good read as I thought it sounded interesting.
