Favorite Book: "Sugar Ray" by Sugar Ray Robinson

"My favorite book is Sugar Ray by Sugar Ray Robinson with Dave Anderson. Dave Anderson was a writer with The New York Journal-American. He tape-recorded hours and hours of interviews with Sugar Ray Robinson. He started writing this book at a time when, like too many retired boxers, Sugar Ray was boxing's version of a side show. He was making money at exhibitions taking on anyone who showed up for a couple hundred dollars. I liked this book because it's the closest thing to an autobiography. It's Ray's words and they mean something very special to me."

"I also loved the book A Clenched Fist: The Making of a Golden Gloves Champion by Peter Wood. A fighter himself, Wood brought back a lot of Golden Glove memories! It was great writing from a first-hand perspective. Of course, I also like the idea that my name is included in back on a comprehensive list of "The 10 Greatest New York City Golden Gloves Champions!'"
