Boxers autobiographys

You have to read

Charlie Zelenoff's

17 Chin Up's Motha F*&kers

Great book.:rofl:rofl:rofl

 

jack kid berg, the whitechapel windmill

 

Just bought hands of stone, so hope it turns out good. Thought both Calzaghe's and Holyfields were not great. Holyfields especially, he seemed to spend more time on his religion and his personal life than about his training and fights. Would love to read a B-Hop autobiography, make it happen!!

 

i've got johnny nelson's, archie moore's and lamotta's in the house, not got through them all yet though, i've read duran's but my fave book ever is 'Charley Burley, The Life and Hard Times of an Uncrowned Champion'

 

King Of The Gypsies Bartley Gorman

 

Raging Bull by Jkae LaMotta, and Willy Pep's, called Friday Night Heroes.

Pep's book alternates chapters on him, and on Fighters who fought in 50's, especially Friday Night Fights of that era, which were big draw back then.

Great quotes, like about one of his wives, who was tall, blond, gorgeous, while he was short pug-faced guy: "She married me for my name and my money; at divorce settlement, I got to keep my name, she got to keep my money."
