Ones I recommend...
Dark destroyer: Nigel Benn
Four Kings: Leonard, Hagler, Hearns and Duran and the Last Great Era of Boxing
If you just want a boxing book read War Baby, by Kevin Mitchell (not the boxer), shows boxing as it really is. My best of the above
mi vida loco - brilliant (thanks red mist)
Whats that about chief?
All of the above, War Baby is my personal fav, but also really enjoyed Eubank's and also Michael Watson's books.

Team Colosseum
Are any of the above autobiographies or just biographies?
Dark trade
War Baby
Four Kings
All awesome
autobiographies, Hands of stone is awesome, teddy Atlas's book is awesome, Angelo Dundees my view form the corner is awesome, The prince and the paddy is awesome, Hurricane Ruben Carter is awesome,Sugar Ray Robinson, Benn and eubank are ok, Calazaghe and Hattons are decent, audley harrisons and amir khans are a bit shit. Im half way through frank brunos just now.
Freddie Roachs book comes out early nxt year i think, should be awesome
Forgot the Dark trade, the chapter on James Toney is great!

Four Kings is really good but i wound 'nt recommend" My view from the corner" by Anglo Dundee I was really looking forward to it but when I finished it I was pretty underwhelmed.There seemed like so more he could have said instead of the very bland re-telling of the fights which he gave.
i wouldnt recommend evander holyfields one, pretty shit.
