"Charisma for dummies " By the Klitschko brothers. Picked it up the other day. Title is a tad misleading though as they go on and on for 530 pages on how charisma is actually for dummies and they're very against it.
Few know this but David Haye actually has a children's nursery rhyme book out. Here's a little excerpt from it This little piggy went to market. This little piggy stayed at home. This little piggy had roast beef, This little piggy had none. And this little piggy caused me to lose the heavyweight championship of the world.
Larry just told stories of how Cosell would get drunk and try to rub Larry's thigh. It was strange, to say the least. Holmes was like "never when I get drunk do I want to rub another man's thigh".
Larry was right about Cosell regarding the Cobb fight. Cosell was just upset Ali wasn't around anymore. I don't remember him babbling like a scared little girl when Henry Cooper was bleeding all over the canvas during Ali's earlier years.
ointlaugh: PS Wlad silent movie was pretty "charismatic stuff". Although he looks like he borrowed that shirt from Steve_Dave.
The Cooper fights were stopped. Cobb was a weird looking extra from a Chainsaw-movie who had zero talent and zero chance of winning the fight. It should have been stopped and Cobb should have been spared.
Yo yo yo, yipee yo, yipee yay, jimmy's in da fuckin' hoooouse. Got my books. Starting to read Dark Trade from this morning.
I've been going on a spree on buying boxing books on Amazon. Mostly cheap ones. Any other suggestions on good boxing books?
"in This Corner!..." is a lot of fun... In particular Willie Pastrano's self-deprecating humor, Gunboat Smith's casual friendly racism, and Don Jordan's completely fabricated, insane version of his own life story
