Good Boxing Books
Larry Holmes Against the Odds
George Forman By George
Telling moment as Holmes in the dressing room pre-Tyson bout- he confesses it was the only time he wanted to cancel a fight.
George- I think he owes his auntie a great deal. She kept telling him he would amount to be nothing.
He really wanted to play football, but quit one day- when he his coach saw him smoking cigarettes. he was so embarrassed he went home- laid down and his aunt came in and said_ See I told you wouldn't gonna amount to be nothing.
That led him to join the job corp- which got him into boxing. Or at least that's what I got from the book. Good read- oh & he was always hungry. Every other chapter states it to much humor.
