    For me, it's Bernard Hopkins. From his days as a thug, to his 5 years in prison, coming out at 22 and dedicating himself to boxing, completely reshaping his life in and out the ring, going on to do legendary things. And his mental strength is probably one of the greatest of any athlete ever, regardless of sport. I'd just like to know what makes this man tick.

    As a matter of fact, his story needs to be a movie one of these days. It's that compelling.

    Tito Trinidad.
    Erik Morales.
    Ricardo Mayorga.
    Oscar de la hoya. (a real biography)
    Ron Lyle.

    But first, just want to say I usually hate autobriographies. Just finished DLH's and they always candy coat their careers and lives. I would prefer books by a hard nosed journalist telling you the bad and the good at the same time, going deeper. :good
