    Calzaghe's is a good read, won't take you that long though.

    This is what was wrong with Froch for the Kessler fight, too much going on when he should be concentrating on fighting. Far too early for him to be releasing a book unless he has already achieved all he is hoping to.

    Come on Carl get back to business and knock AA into next week.

    Pretty Boy (Roy Shaws book) is a decent read.

    I think you're over-emphasizing the time/effort required by your average athlete to "write" an autobiography. He probably spoke to a ghost writer for a few hours, handed over some photos and that was the end of his involvement.

    That's a ****ing brilliant book. I'd bet dollars to donuts it's ten times better than Froch's, and im a Froch fan.

    Mick Foley's is fantastic too, and the Chris Jericho and Ric Flair books are also well worth a read.
