I thought so to, comes across very well and all the things he does for East L.A, the mans a legend all ready.
Yes his autobiography is excellent he's very honest and he gets quite emotionally deep at points especially when he talks about his mom. It's probably the best boxing autobiography i've read, Michael Watson's is very good also. However im a big De La Hoya fan so there maybe some bias there.
I enjoyed it, he's a polished performer in front of camera & is good at being communicative without really giving much away.
Frank Bruno's "Fighting Back" is the best boxing Autobiography......"Great Book in general" I laughed, i cried........and i finished the book with belief in myself. I bought it afew years back, and it was the first book i have ever "Purchased and red". I red it once, and i have never picked it up again. Until NOW..!! Must be about 3 years later. I need some inspiration..!!!! in my hour of need.
I find it hard to dislike him, even though nearly all his fights didn't live up to their billing by a long shot. The only one that did was against Vargas. The Mayweather fight was possibly the most boring superfight in the history of boxing.
I have this to watch later, mixed views by the sounds of it...:yep I think I need to read that book...:yep
