    I think I'll be hitting up Amazon soon myself. I think I've bought just about every boxing book Borders has.

    I will be getting some when I have the dollars, they arent cheap but I definitely want a few of them.

    Did they take long to be posted ?

    Nahh they dont take that long at all.
    Made by Affliction clothing, so they are rather cool.
    Wore the retro De La Hoya shirt out to a latino hip hop club tonight.
    All the latino's loved it including some women.:lol:

    I'm waiting for the exchange rate to improve before I look at buying anything from the U.S. I could be waiting a while too unfortunately.

    Robot depends on size and weight of book - it should tell you when you place your order

    I'm not to sure if this one has been mentioned " I AM KING " by David King....'I'm gonna float like a butterfly and sting like a bee, his hands can't hit what his hands can't see'.

    Awesome pictures and words throughout the 1975 Muhammad Ali Bio book.

    Read "My Bleeding Business" Terry Downes along time a ago and I thought that was a good book. 16th Rounds and Sands are also stand outs.
