Calzaghe's Book

I haven't actually read the book I just remember some of the messed up things he used to say and do. Will be keeping m,y eye out for it though now

 

If Larry fascinates you, then the book is a must read Dan, no kidding. he has something to say about everything & everyone at the time the book came out, Ali, lennox Lewis, the lot.
Full of so many crazy tales, I sound like a salesman now

Just find it if you can, & read it. Same applies to everyone here even if you are a Larry Holmes fan or not. hes a big mouth, but a mouth that always has you reading the next chapter. He draws you into the most fascinating era of heavyweight boxing, & spits you out at the end.
Not a fan of Larry the fighter that much, but hes a great storyteller. & THATS what matters in a book, if Im right!

 

Too right You working on commision with these books ?

 

I liked Eubank's book myself, it was a bit of an eye opener for me as I didn't know anything about his life before boxing. Michael Watson's book is good too.
Best of all, Raging Bull.

 

Yeah Michael Watsons is quite inspiring forgot about that

 

De La Hoya's is a good read. It's surprisingly honest and humble.

 

One of the best books I have was Thomas Hauser's, Muhammad Ali: His Life and Times

Decent book, quite old now but still a good read

 

A good read is The Life and Crimes of Don King by Jack(I think) Newfield.:good

 

seconded - could just be the best book i have ever read.

i liked eubanks altho it did get a bit boring in parts.

 

That's a **** poor excuse, given the state Trinidad was in atsch
Tito had lost 2 of his last 4, hadn't fought for 4 years, was fighting at an insanely high weight, and looked totally fat and out of shape....and went the distance with a former Heavyweight title holder. Yeah, great win for Jones that is Joe :good

 

I loved the story in Joes book where Carl Thompson lost his rag with Naz and cussed him about his big ears

 

:twisted:

 

Trainer of the year.

 

Holyfields book was good as was Lewis'
