whats your favorite boxing book?

Agreed, he's always been sound to me.

 

Right Flea. I have two trades to sort out, which I will get down this weekend.

then I'll send you that stuff I've ha din my house for ages for you, plus a bonus DVD you will find very interesting. I still have your Brass Eye DVD FFS

 

:rofl Wondered where that had got to!!!!!! Totally forgot I'd lent it to you :good

What's this special disk then? Not 'Fritzl Files: Volume 2' I hope, weirded me out when you sent me that last time ;-)

I'm finally getting Park-Canto :happy Didn't you have some Olivares and Charles to send me too? Good lad, I'll send you that Ohba disk in return :good

 

Park vs Canto I
Olivares vs Herrera I
Charles vs Marshall II

Fritzl Files Vol. 2 are for my eyes only. I'll easy send you 'Tobin Tapes' though.

Nah, it is Charles vs Lesnevich and Maxim IV. Also on the disk is a British Middleweight title fight from the 1910's, mint quality, it sinteresting to see. I think you'll like it.

 

:rofl Tobin.

Seriously, that extra disk sounds great viewing lad, sound :good

 

I ain't watched it all yet. But the footage is crystal clear and it does not show chins-in-the-air-hands-down-by-their-sides-brawlers, both guys look pretty sound, and one of them has an amazing, if unique, Pernell Whittaker-esque stance.

Anyway, on topic

Ultimate Tough Guy by Jim Carney, is a great Jim Jeffries biography, not completely cannonising Jeffries, but at the same time not making him out as a caveman. A very well-balanced and detailed look at his career, gives you a good understanding and appreciation of Jeffries.

 

I've got about 150 books in my cabinet. The only book I have EVER read twice in my life is Johnny Nelson's autobiography.

 

not many books on mexican fighters is there

 

That good?

 

I thought you said NEVER

I used to get asked why i wasted the start of ma Saturday night watching him.


Ledge.

 

Rough Ride by Paul Kimmage is better.

And Bad Blood (The secret life of the Tour de France) by Jeremy whittle is quite good too.


Regarding boxing books I have to say i thought War Baby was very dissapointing.

Apart from the ones mentioned already the book 'Ringside' by Budd Schulberg is very good. Covers a wide range of boxers and mostly from first hand experiences of the writer...

 

Roberto Duran's and Four Kings are excellent.

currently reading Evander Holyfields, after that then Dark trade

 

I've got Durans to read next, its a good read?

 

what a ******ed post:-rofl:-rofl:-rofl

 

eh?
