    Trying to get hold of Ron Lyles' book. Not sure if its in circulation, but has anybody read 'The Professional'? meant to be really good. Can't believe i've never read it, especially as it comes with a Hemingway recommendation.

    Not a boxing book, but for those interested i'm currently reading 'A peace to end all peace'.

    I've read The Professional (the WC Heinz book?), its very very.......thorough, goes into every tiny detail of one fighters preparation for a bout, training camp etc, superbly detailed but a little heavy going I thought


    Just about to start reading this

    The last boxing book I read was Ray Robinson's autobiography. It's pretty good but he doesn't really go off the subject of boxing.
