Favourite Boxing Book.

The Dark Trade is a good read

 

"A Neutral Corner" by A.J. Liebling.

 

I have read both the above mentioned and thought there are tens which I could mention,I would add to those listed;The Teddy Atlas bio and more so,The Big If,The Johnny Owen story.Even if you aren't from the UK,I'd urge you to check out the tragic tale of Johnny.Even my wife read that,it really is one of the saddest tales in boxing history.
Also thouroughly enjoyed;Four Kings,Ringside(excerpts from Budd Schulberg) and another excerpt book from Hugh McIlvanney.
The one about Tyson's opponents and Hands of Stone were good.Was a bit disappointed with the Ray Leonard and Tommy Hearns bios though.
Got Angelo Dundee still to read and can't wait for the Arguello bio that's coming soon.

 

Jack Johnson's is very very good, as is Pollock's book on Fitzsimmons. I also enjoyed the Nipper Daly book, as well as Four Kings

 

I read the Hurricane,but was a tad underwhelmed by the movie.

 

Have only read De La Hoya's. Seemed like he was making excuses for many things. Dude had girls throwing panties and bras and him, dude was ballings and getting bitches haha.

 

Never read a boxing book. There's none that stand out for me. Granted, i don't know too many.

 

the dark trade and dundees book are both great
