Re: Off Topic: Best boxing books
Boxing Confidential by Jim Brady is a good read - some interesting stuff on Sulaiman and the WBC.
As a fan of 'lost generation' of heavyweights from the late 80s and early 90s; Facing Tyson by Ted Kluck and The Long Round by Dominic Calder-Smith are both good reads.
One to avoid: Michael Murray's autobiography...must have a load of great stories to tell but I found it verging on the point of non-sensicle.

Kostya Tszyu's book is about as bad as it gets.
Re: Off Topic: Best boxing books
I know a lot of people really enjoyed 'Dark Trade' but I found it pretty heavy going. There are 2 Charlie Burley biographies about; one is very tough going and the other (by Harry Otty) is a great read.
