    Ringside - A Treasury Of Boxing Reportage

    Nigel Benn

    Evander Holyfield - Becoming Holyfield

    Hands Of Stone - The Life & Legend Of Roberto Duran

    Unforgivable Blackness

    Oscar De La Hoya - American Son

    Calzaghe - No Ordinary Joe


    Cheers lads :good

    Anything by Schulberg is worth a read.

    I'm currently reading Andre Ward's biography, it's a bit scattered and all over the place and I have doubts about how much of it is true but it's an interesting read. It's called The Holy Bible, I think it's on amazon. Hope this helps.
