    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}...

    Hands of Stone was close to being in my top 3, and he is one of my 10 favorite fighters of all time.
