    Anybody read it? If so, any good? I entered a contest a few days ago, answered the question right, and won a free copy which should arrive in the next week or so. Im pretty excited. Is it any good?

    Yeah, he just released it like last week or 2 weeks ago, something like that. Yes, Becoming Holyfield was a brilliant book imho. Good insights into his life, both professional and personal.

    Hey it's free right? Even if it's bad, it's good.

    That's the way I look at it. I was just curious if anybody had read it, and what they thought of it. Im excited myself. If nothing else, then I have something to read.

    Herbie is an exciting fighter I do not why he gets so much hate. He should have moved down to CW allot earlier than he did.

    Yeah its ok but i dont like the way he has a go at Danny Williams, saying he would beat him any day of the weak and how his win over Mike Tyson doesnt matter. I disagree Mike beat the crap out of him for a few rounds and he stuck in. He also complains about losing to Vitali, but dunno how u can do that seen as though it lasted 2 rounds

    a very fabricated story, i like herbie, but i knew everyone he hung with in vegas, and he only mentoned gangsters to make himself look hard.. he hung with pussies and never had a gun in his life.. and never got shot at or was even involved... its very blown out of all preportion..
