    I have read Johnny Tapia's book "Mi Vida Loca" that was good I also read Teddy Atlas's book "From the streets to the ring" which was surprisingly good

    Mike Tyson's autobiog is very good. Pretty honest, engagingly (ghost)written in something approaching his authentic voice. I liked him more after reading.
