a good boxing book
An oral history of the 1987 fight between "Marvelous" Marvin Hagler and "Sugar" Ray Leonard - Grantland
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 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.
