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.

Im reading hands of stone too, very good. All boxers are the same arent they ;D
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
Thought this was a good read. Would recommend it.Quote:
