Books on Boxing
Anybody have any good books on boxing they would recommend? Fiction or non-fiction. A couple I've enjoyed are 'The Professional' by W.C. Heinz (fiction), 'On Boxing' by Joyce Carol Oates (non-fiction) and 'Atlas: From the Streets to the Ring: A Son's Struggle to Become a Man' by Teddy Atlas (autobiography). Strongly recommend the audiobook version of Teddy's book since he reads it all himself and even breaks it up with some shorter interviews. I've really wanted to read the Rocky Graziano autobiography 'Somebody Up There Likes Me' because I've heard it's the best book on boxing ever written, but it's harder to track down than an albino in a snowstorm. Still, the movie version with Paul Newman is pretty great so just have to settle with that for now.
