thanks mate

 

my favorites are eubanks,benns,johnny nelson,teddy atlas,herbie hide,audley Harrison ,joe galz.stay clear of ricky hatton's ,amir khans absolute crap read.

 

Anything by Budd Schulberg.

Adios.

 

iwould recommend sugar ray robinson with dave anderson

 

more books i would recommend the big punchers by reg guttridge /rocky marciano by evertt m skeehan/the hardest game by harry carpenter / i conteh /i only talk winning by angelo dundee and finally for the moment mike tyson money myth and betrayal bymonteith illingworth

 

Rope Burns is awesome. War, Baby was good apart from the strange McClellan impersonations. Benn's book was naff imo. He came across differently than I thought he would. Eubank's was a bit better.

 

never read it but trying to get it is Peps book about Friday fight nights

 

'Sparring with Hemingway' is a quality read, I kept seeing it in my local second hand store and passing it over, eventually plumped up the €3, and it was money well spent.

My favourite is Dark Trade. Honourable mentions for Unforgivable Blackness, Ghosts of Manilla, Night Train, In The Red Corner, A Bloody Canvas, The Great Prize Fight, A Mohammed Ali Reader, Ringside, Hands of Stone.

The fiction of F.X. O'Toole is also v.good.

 

That's my only problem with it, was fascinated to read about how McClellan and the King family didn't like each other at all.

 

Tarnished Armour by Dominic Calder Smith. Great book on the heavyweight scene. Some great chapters on Hasim Rahman and Monte Barrett when they were supposed to be the next big things.

 

That is a great book:good

 

Chris Eubank Auto is a top read, plus Jonny Tapia's Auto is bril.
