If you could read an autobiography on any fighter, past or present?

Roger Mayweather

 

Pacquiao...written in Tagalog...translated to English
Mayweather...would be a bit self-righteous, but still interesting.
Hopkins...from convict to p4p all-star.

 

i bet he can't even read half as fast as he does thoes mitt combinations.

 

Bernard Hopkins:

Be warned... the title reads that it's "FOR BROTHERS ONLY!"

Yeah, that's right... Andrew Golata's #3 hit is "Lord of the Dance: My Story." I'd advise against asking him about that in person.

Oh really? Do you know there names? If not, I can look it up.

 

There's a printing of all of the FBI files on Sonny Liston, which sounds like an "interesting" read... it's 126 pages. :hey

 

Roberto Duran he was a great fighter with a lot of heart but his career was full of drama from his no mas against leonard. And then winning the middleweight championship against barkley after he was over his prime. Teofilo Stevenson was the greatest amateur heavyweight of all time, would love to ask him why he didnt turn pro. Felix Savon another great amateur that never had a chance to fight pro but he was an icon. Wilfredo Benitez became world champion at 16 a record that will never be broken since boxers are just starting their pro careers at 17 and 18, also when from millionare to poor. Esteban Dejesus had some great wars against duran and die of aids after being in jail for awhile.

Uh, yes, I know that. The question is IF you could read an autobiography on any fighter.

 

By the way, my first choice would probably be Harry Greb. Since there is a fairly new book, not autobiography, out on him now, I didn't list him first. Sonny Liston came to my mind because he is an interesting, tragic former Heavyweight Champion. His mysterious death makes his story even more interesting.
