a good boxing book

[AgustusM]

An oral history of the 1987 fight between "Marvelous" Marvin Hagler and "Sugar" Ray Leonard - Grantland (http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/6983512/hagler-vs-leonard)

So I was reading this article today and it occurred to me how much I would enjoy reading a really good boxing book.

Years and years ago I read an excellent one while in Hawaii on business, but cant remember the name (I also recall getting about 3 hours of sleep a night on that trip, so that might contribute to the amnesia)

So the question to the community is do you a have a good boxing book you have read and would recommend.

Well, speaking of Sugar Ray. Didn't he just come out with an autobiography here a few months ago?

I didnt know that, I will have to look that up - he was far and away my favorite boxer when I was a kid.

I heard an interview with him awhile back and just couldn't remember if the book was out already or he was doing the circuit to promote it before it came out. 4 1/2 stars on Amazon.

I bought and started the Sugar Ray book - excellent so far.

still interested and looking for others. especially anything that was a modern history of boxing.
