Best Boxing Book

[Manuel "Chubby" Medina]

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?

[fugaziuk]

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

[CFH]

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.

My book about Joe Gans and the rag-time era of boxing might interest you.

Amazon.com: Joe Gans: A Biography of the First African American World Boxing Champion: Colleen Aycock, Mark Scott: Books

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.

[Fenster]

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!

I juzz wanted a book that is detailed like on the fights if you knoe what i mean.
If you guys knoe of a good one on Morales that be perfect.
But any boxer is good.

I think the latin/Mexican market has not really been tapped in to considering so many great fighters have come from there. Shame really.

After you see my third book, you may rethink this? Lots of Latino stuff in it.

I should polish up on some good boxing books. The only boxing book I've read is Ricky Hatton's one. It was alright, but I think I read it in one sitting on the airplane. It was more like a one way conversation rather than a book.
