    Could you reccomend some of the more interesting ones please. I read the Joe calzaghe one and found it in all honestly a little boring. Does bernard hopkins have anything out? What interesting ones have people read.

    Chris Eubank has one out but its ghost written. I think most of them are ghost written to some extent. You could always try Raging Bull though.

    The Holyfield one is good if you want insight on his fights. Otherwise, it's just okay.

    Ricky Hattons is a bit of a laugh, prtty good read,
    Joe calzaghes is boring
    Raging Bull exellent
    Read several Ali books that were ghost written but enjoyed especially through the eyes of the world

    Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank are worth a read as is Michael Watsons , Hattons , Calzaghes , Steve Collins De La Hoya and Evander Holyfield r ok if theres nothing else out.

    Do you reckon B - Hop , Roy Jones , Mosely will release one there coming to the end of there career now ?

    I liked Becoming Holyfield, Evander's latest book. And recently I read George Foreman's book By George, but found it a bit too much about his religious life than his boxing life for my taste. And the latest one I read I think was Herbie Hide's recently released autobiography which wasn't all that bad.

    no man stands alone

    well worth seeking out, the chapters on being a junky are especially illuminating
