    I picked it up a few weeks ago and finished it in 3 days. Really enjoyed it, and thought it was very honest (especially about his womanising, as well as the sexual abuse he suffered). He was also very critical of himself in terms of his behaviour outside the ring which i thought was refreshing tbh. I must admit, I wasn't really a massive fan of his (always preferred Duran and Hearns) but I really got into it and would recommend it.

    I think I'll buy it soon, always been a fan of SRL.

    If you send the book to him with return postage, he'll sign it for you.

    Like I said, I was never really a fan of his if I'm honest. But the book really changed a lot of the perceptions I had about him. I would commend it to all his fans, and to boxing fans in general. The only negative I found was that he diet really admit Duran intimidated him in Montreal.
