There are so many Great boxing books. Here are some of them. The Hardest Game, Fireside Book of Boxing, Ageless Warrior (Archie Moore), Beyond Glory, Max Schmeling: Autobiography, Hands of Stone, No Ordinary Joe, Cinderella Man, Corner Men, In this Corner, etc.
The Ultimate Boxer , by Christy Halbert best book to learn about the skills of professional and amateur boxing. You can find it in the Everlast or title boxing stores online I think
i just finished 'sweet agony'...by an old contender for the british heavyweight title called paul sykes {he fought john l gardner for british title in 79}... but thinking now..not really that good.. i've got one thats years old called 'the illustraded history of boxing' by harry mullen...and its fantastic...great combination of pictures and reports..
Im still on the Holyfield book and I find it dam good so far reading about his childhood and the ams. I picked up Archie Moores Agless Warrior at Olies for 3 ****ing dollars the other day but havent read it yet ill get to it soon.
1. Gene Tunney's Book: Boxing's Brainiest Champ 2. Beyond Glory: Joe Louis vs. Max Schmeling 3. Barney Ross Hands of Stone was close to being in my top 3, and he is one of my 10 favorite fighters of all time.
