Books on Boxing

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

Atlas by teddy atlas is one of the best books out...

Also 100% worth reading;

Hands of stone
Dark Trade
My view from the corner

Yup, seems Preme has read the same ones I have barring Dark Trade.

I'd also like to Add Bert Sugar On Boxing and Unforgivable Blackness.

Atlas is a really good one as Preme said. I had no idea all the shit Teddy had be through/done before I read it. He was a loose cannon.

Tapia's biography is a must read as well.

i never liked atlas much until i read his book. thought he was a bit of a cunt to be honest, but have a huge amount of respect for him after i took the time to find out about him, i guess you shouldnt judge a book by it's cover - ok shit pun i know!

You should check out dark trade, wirtten by a south african - moved to uk guy, donald something... man the guy wrote a great book and updated it...

He talks about the time he spent in the early years with eubank, watson about the injury to watson, about james toney and his manager, he spent time with toney before one of his fights, in his hotel room waiting to go over for the tulusa shoot out card, in the room with him walking down to the ring. about roy jones jr and Sr, nas, king, arum its a great read and gives you insight on things you may have never known or read about before.


budd schulberg is someone whos books i am moving onto next once i have finished with this one. All the old great trainers having nothing but great things to say about him as a writer in his day, i'm sure they will be worth reading.
