for reals, an acquaintance asked my that question once and I was stuck. That's like asking me to give all the reasons why I think Ja Rule is whack. Too many reasons to give just one answer

I guess it depends what you are into. I'm reading a few boxing ones right now...Sugar Ray Robinson's bio which is pretty good.

However, I really like Beyond the Glory: Joe Louis vs. Max Schemeling.

Its pretty much about both the fighters, the world, how this was the biggest sporting event ever all the different factors that went in and such. Its quite interesting, the boxing / history angle is a good one.

There also is another book that I personally haven't read, but my friend says is awesome.

Its "Bummy Davis vs. Murder Inc: The Rise and Fall of the Jewish Mafia and an Ill-fated Prizefighter."

It looks awesome, and amazon has cheap copies for like $4.
