    Going on holiday soon and need a good book to keep me occupied while she's sunbathing. Considering froch's new autobiography at the moment but if anyone can recommend me better one it would be appreciated...

    Cheers

    A really good boxing novel is Sergio De La Pava's A Naked Singularity.

    I'd also recommend to read some articles on Sports Illustrated. Do an sivault search.

    A good article is "The Champion of Confusion", about Aaron Pryor.

    Ricky's Bio is pretty decent, does anyone know if there is any good books on Cus D'Amato?

    You need a good copy of the latest print of the Boxing Register to get a complete overview of the greatest HoF fighters in boxing history.

    Cinderella Man was an incredible book. 10x better than the movie.

    "A Night at the Fights" is out now and is high on my reading list.
