Any Ideas on some good boxing books..?

Amazon.com: Pacman: My Story of Hope, Resilience, and Never-Say-Never Determination (9781427647689): Manny Pacquiao, Timothy James: Books

Somewhat short but very Spiritual, honest and insightful from boxing's foremost genuine good guy!!!

Is this the first book based on Manny mate?I seen it on the shelve in a book store a few weeks before christmas and im planning on buying it sooner or later.

Teddy Atlas' autobiography is a good read. As well as the Roberto Duran story. A book I wasn't to crazy about was the sweet science. With Sugar Ray punching Lamotta on the front cover. Something about it I read about a chapter than I just forget about it for a few months.

I enjoyed Mickey Wards book Irish Thunder Amazon.com: Irish Thunder: The Hard Life and Times of Micky Ward (9781599212203): Bob Halloran: Books

I know its not boxing but UFC'S Forrest Griffin Book titled Got Fight was priceless
Amazon.com: Got Fight?: The 50 Zen Principles of Hand-to-Face Combat (9780061721724): Forrest Griffin, Erich Krauss: Books

Amazon.com: Pacman: My Story of Hope, Resilience, and Never-Say-Never Determination (9781427647689): Manny Pacquiao, Timothy James: Books

Somewhat short but very Spiritual, honest and insightful from boxing's foremost genuine good guy!!!

Amazon.com: PacMan: Behind the Scenes with Manny Pacquiao--the Greatest Pound-for-Pound Fighter in the World (9780306819490): Gary Andrew Poole: Books

I think this came out earlier but I'd rather have the autobio by Manny himself.

Hitman The Thomas Hearns story by the Hughes brothers Brian and Damian is a decent read

thomas hauser has written some good books about boxing.
i read a couple of year in reviews that compiled a bunch of articles he had publised that given year. alot of insight into the politics, inner workings and the (shady) business end of the sport.

[Irish]

My favorites are:

My View From The Corner (Angelo Dundee)
American Son (Oscar De La Hoya)
Irish Thunder the hard life and times of micky ward (Micky Ward)

These are all excellent books probably best I've ever read boxing or otherwise, and the Ward book fills in tons of details the movie missed all great reads

Dark Trade and Nigel Benn autobiography. Eubanks is funny in bits. Mills lane done one after the Tyson ear biting which was OK.

[Beanflicker]

George Plimpton's Shadow Box is the best boxing book Ive ever read, and Ive read a lot of them

[Master]

Ali's 700 pages most I have ever read.

[Syntax Error]

Unforgivable Blackness: The Rise & Fall Of Jack Johnson is the best boxing biography I've read.

Smokin Joe - the autobiography of Joe Frazier is my favourite boxing autobiography.

james j braddock when the bllody bloke drank a pint o' lunatic broth in north bergen, new jersey, hell, they named a frikkin park after the guy---he lived on Jeanette Street in Union City, New Jersey, when youre comin up the ramp on the 160, 161, 163 or 164 bus heading towards the Lincoln Tunnel for Manhattan, you'll see Jeanette Street on your right, lookin kinda bleak and depressing now, a good damn 100 years later nearly----the park is James J Braddock Park at Bergenline Avenue in North Bergen, NJ and starts at about 79th Street all the way up to 91st Street at the border of Fairview, New Jersey. Alot of Guatemalans livin up there now. Anyhow there's a book called "Nungesser's: the Jersey City Maulers" by some bleedin piece of horse dung named Punkmaster Puke, or some such drinkin a bunch of German Weissbiers and that.............
