    +1 on the lavy. I have often squatted down and been dismayed at the lack of reading material around once my noodle and white-bread inspired hardness presents more problems than it usually does.

    Doesn't bother me. A bit James Earl Jones-solemn but not too bad.

    I've wanted to score that fight for Hagler, but I can't with honesty. He gave it away.

    It's ludicrous you mortals even attempt to enter my realm, challenging me with your primitive skills. You're just as good as dead, boy.

    If you can get your hands on any of the WC Heinz compilations, he makes for fantastic reading.

    Not just boxing, but stories from throughout the sports world. Amazing writer.

    Of course, Heinz could he one of those Circle folks, in which case its probably a lot of "Herschel Durschel, The Fighting Pride of Krakow" or such illuminating fare, or, "How I Survived Auschwitz Only To Get Blitzed By Marciano" the Harry Haft-Assed story.

    George Foreman's autobio, By George, was an interesting and amusing read. Like the bits about how he was robbed against Holyfield and how he was about to knock out Ali but got distracted by seeing a disloyal friend the audience
    betray him by rooting for Ali.

    There's also Larry Holmes's book, where Larry talks about rejecting the touchy-feely sexual advances of a drunk Howard Cosell.

    I am not a Billy Crystal fan by any stretch of the imagination, but for boxing fans especially those familiar with Howard Cosell, this is hilarious:
