I really enjoyed "The Inner Ring" a Mike Tyson bio written by one of his former drivers. Very entertaining, read the whole thing in one night. A few choice tidbits:

- MT's favorite food is Captain Crunch
- MT once kicked Wesley Snipes' ass in a nightclub bathroom

Can't remember much else, read it almost 10 years ago, check it out, def. worth the read.

Bruiser,

I think you might like Once A Runner by John L. Parker.

If pool counts as a sport, you might enjoy Playing Off The Rail by David McCumber, or The Hustler and The Color Of Money by Walter Tevis.
