Name: Lonnie "Lightning" Smith
Favorite Book: "The Spook That Sat By the Door" "I picked up this book and read it from cover to cover when I was at Don King's training camp in Ohio. Yeah, Don reads all the time. This book was lying around in his home library. It's a hard-hitting book that depicts a world in which the long-suppressed black man fights back with a vengeance. It was made into a film with Ivan Dixon. Hey, when I was living at Don's, I sparred with 'em all--Aaron Pryor, Roberto Duran & Salvador Sanchez. Without a doubt, the best of them all? Sanchez! He was dangerous with either hand and the guy never got tired! And the best book in that library--"The Spook That Sat By the Door!"" |
