To have never been stopped is a monumental achievement and yes Boxing Monthly is better than Boxing News

Fwockin Ahmen to that


So would you recomend this book your reading?

Yeah its pretty good. Its called 'The Dark Trade' by Donald Mcrae

A nicely written account of the author's personal journey through boxing in the 90s. The author vividly describes his encounters with some of the big names in the sport: Oscar De La Hoya, Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, Roy Jones, Jr. and especially, James Toney. What's interesting about these sections of the book is that McRae really seems to get to know the people he's writing about and is able to reveal sides of their characters that aren't normally seen. I read this over a weekend, neglecting everything else I had planned to do because I couldn't put it down

That's a review from Amazon. Quite long and i took a break from it halfway through to read Ricky Hatton's autobiography which is also very good and pretty funny too.

Infact i would recommend both but especially the dark trade one.

I'll probably have to find "The Dark Trade". Sounds good!

Not too keen on Auto-Bios on current subjects though (ala Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard.... Amir Khan )
