If you had to write a book...

Foremost, I would have to select a person with a somewhat exciting or at least interesting life, In and outside the ring.
The life would have to be filled with many of life tribulations that serve to polish a stone into a gem, so a fighter who lived in a mansion with servants and trust fund wouldn't seem to appealing or intersting to read or write about.
Based on above, I'd probably select from the following list;

- Mike Tyson

- Emmanuel Augustus

- Bernard Hopkins

- Michael Nunn

 

Why johansson

 

I think your book would only sell in Sweden :yep

Apart from being Swedish what appeals to you about johansson

 

Solid question:good

Hands of Stone is probably one of the most interesting guys ever in boxing. A true bad ass and probably one of the toughest guys ever to lace-em up.


Oh and I'd write a screen play about Matthew Saad Mohammed. Cause that guy's life needs to be turned into a movie.

 

Personally not sure maybe

Jeff fenech

 

Johnny Tapia

 

I see how it is

 

Emmanuel Augustus, that's a great choice.

Gerald McClellan, it would be hard to watch but it would open a lot of eyes to the hazards of boxing and the dog fighting incident might make some believe he deserved what he got.

 

Brian mitchell springs to mind

 

Joe Calzaghe is like the dos equis man. " The world's most interesting man". He needs a book.

There are many Sugar Rays and Iron Mikes. But there is only one Ricky Hatton. Hatton needs one too.
