what fighter has the best autobiography

Not sure if these are biographys or autos , but Hattons is OK, Ray Leonards is good. Holyfields is dreadful .

 

I really liked Angelo Dundee's "My View From the Corner"

 

Not a big fan of Leonard's to be honest.
The biography on Duran 'Hands of Stone' is well worth a read.
Nigel Benn's is pretty good aswell.

 

Of all the great stories he could have told , Tyson , Bowe , Lennox . He constantly talks about his wives and about warm up fights. His third fight with Bowe takes up about a quarter of a page, where as he gives the Jeremy Bates fight almost a chapter.

 

Hands of Stone is being made into a movie with Bobby De Niro playing Duran's trainer.

 

Heard Nigel Benn's is a good read.

Calzaghe's isn't too bad in my opinion, but from other peoples views it seems to be marmite.

 

Yeah Holyfield's was ****.

Archie Moore's is amazing though. Moore is one of the sport's most fascinating characters and the auto really delivers.

I really loved Wayne McCoullugh's too.

 

The guy who wrote "Hands of Stone" has written an even better book about Alexis Arguello."Auto" Biographies tend to be pretty poor as they obviously tend to be kind to the writer so I prefer an actual biography without the subject's input.Hauser and McIllvanney's books on Ali are good as well.Thomas Hearns story was just OK,and I love Johnny Tapia(God rest his soul) but Mi Vida Loca isn't the greatest book.
The Sonny Liston book will open your eyes.It took about 8 coppers with nightsticks to get him in the van yet you think this guy went down to a "phantom punch"?

 

Next year. They're shooting now!

 

Anybody read Lewis - Mama's Boy? Ive been wanting to pick that up.

 

I really enjoyed the Sugar Ray Leonard autobiography, that's well worth a read.

Herol Graham's is really good for British fans
