Best boxing books you've read?

Yes,
The Roosevelt That I Know was a great read, thanks Clay

 

Sweet! Maybe Sammy Scaff & Larry Sims will sign book deals too!!!

 

Agreed... I just read it last month & it was a really interesting book. Very straight-to-the point & it also had some humor. I loved how Larry would often start a new paragraph off with the word 'Whatever.' Honestly, it was a great read.

 

It is a GREAT book! Get it.

 

No Ordinary Joe by Joe Calzaghe is an excellent read. Great boxing insight and lots of information on training / fitness for boxing.

I enjoyed it thoroughly.

 

Yup. That or 'uh-huh'.

 

Joe Frazier's biography. Title escapes me.

Hands of Stone (about Roberto Duran).

Facing Ali.

Facing Tyson.

Shadow Box

Going The Distance (Kenny Norton's book.)

 

Old Gator

 

What's the last word on Duran's latest book?

 

Pep also had one called 'Friday's Heroes' or something.

 

Correctamundo:good that one is quite easy to get hold of, his proper bio, not so much.

Got the Arcel book the other day, looks good, loads of photos in it

 

Have you read "Son, it ain't your night, we've gone for the price on Chomsky in the 3rd" by Blackie Smalls? It's the unofficial biography of Kenny Bugger.

 

But of course, a masterpiece of its type

 

Kennys autobiography 'Hit the canvas smiling' is a peach

 

Yeah, that's the one . The one I mentioned is actually the title of Chapter 9. Sad, awful story. The time when trainer Blackie Smalls poisoned Kenny's mug of Horlicks so he missed his date with Hedy Lamarr makes me cry every time. :-(
