    Haven't read ten books about boxing myself..

    But an excellent fictional story centered around boxing I read was "The Power of One" by the Australian author Bryce Courtenay.

    Fantastic book, one that you don't need to be a boxing fan to enjoy, but it certainly helps. It's been a few years since I've read it and would recommend it to anyone looking for an excellent fiction book.

    Some reviews:
    Amazon.com: The Power of One: A Novel: Books: Bryce Courtenay

    Their is a movie about that book as well by the same name.. It's probably about 15 years old now, but for those that aren't book readers... I've heard the movie did a good job, but it had an extraordinary book to live up to though...

    Forgot about this: Facing Tyson by Ted A. Kluck.


    Great read, Kluck is really good at getting stuff out of them.
