Thread: hands of sone

i love biographys i have read nigel benns eubanks watsons(sad) hatton,ali,naz,calzaghe,jim watt. etc. i am almost finished roberto durans and its really good i love the fabulous four leanord ,duran,hearns and hagler but nevr knew too much about any of them. But duran was a mean guy he knocked out everybody and was a great street fighter. a hall of famer no question. whats everybodys fave biography doesnt have to be boxing just recomend a good read. durans book a must read.

just noticed hands of sone clearly meant to be hands of stone. rookie mistake.

I just finished reading it. It was an enjoyable book. It was also pretty fair and objective.


It was not a biography but this was one of my favorite boxing books.

Benn's book was quite good, eunbank's was average, iv just bought the duran one but have yet to start reading it

my favourite boxing book out of the ones iv read is possibly War,Baby by kevin mitchell which is an in depth look as beens fight with the G-Man

Im reading hands of stone too, very good. All boxers are the same arent they

i think a mayorga book would be VERY interesting, although i dont think letting him write it himself would be a good idea

Frank Bruno's second Biography really offers the truth.

I love picking up boxing books at car boots. Got crown of thorns last weekend, heavyweight champs turned to ruins basically. Havent started it yet.

Ghosts of Manilia is a good book on Ali Frazier

Night Train the Sonny Listion story is a good read as well

Looking for a Fight is quite a good book about a british jurno who sets a goal to have one pro fight his transformation in a year or so is great, shows a bit about the club level of boxing in the UK
