    I don't get why he doesn't, would at least be another source of income.

    Didn't I read somewhere he was going to the UK for a book signing soon? Could have been from Steve Collins who was saying he could meet up with him to promote a potential fight or something

    Surprized he hasnt.

    You've got guys in their 20s who have aurobiographys there days.

    Cool guy and amazing boxer,Id definately buy it,if he had one.

    Stories about his crazy father growing up would be quite interesting.

    I remember reading an article about Jones once where he said in his teens,his father would have him out training from dawn til dusk.

    hours and hours and hours a day

    He'll do one after he's officially retired, which won't be anytime soon.

    There'll probably be some crazy stories in there, about Big Roy beating him with a pipe etc.

    I think there'll be a documentary out soon though. There was a snippet of it on youtube last year. I think it's quite an in depth doc, and it followed him around in the build up to one of his recent fights.
