    You know, I want to read something on the GOAT !
    We have so many great books on Boxing, about many fighters.... you read all the time how good Facing Ali is, and Four Kings etc etc...
    But you never hear about Robinson´s book.... so, I ask you if you have one that you can recomend to me. I want a Sugar Ray Robinson one... I wanna read something about the man.

    How about something FROM the man? - he has an autobiography.

    It should be good, but I am always suspicious about autobiographies. Even when they say bad things about themselves it is somewhat egocentrically;

    I enjoyed it. I read it a long time ago but it was a good read. Not trusting the author’s voice is probably sensible but doesn’t mean it’s no good.
