famous boxers that didn't grow up poor

copying this from another forum but interesting:

Juan Manuel Marquez - Degree in accounting, middle-class
Marco Antonio Barrera - Law degree, wealthy parents growing up
Lennox Lewis - Average family in Canada, well spoken boy
Vitali Klitschko - PHD sports science
Wladimir Klitschko - PHD sports science
Muhammad Ali - Middle class

any more?

 

all PR fighters.

i have yet to hear any story to the contrary.

 

Juan Diaz - the Baby Bull is a lawyer too if I remember correctly.

 

all of them weren't poor.

 

Azumah Nelson's father was wealthy.

 

Obviously Julio Cesar Chávez Jr. must make the list.

 

any white british fighter

any fighter from Holland, Switzerland or Luxembourg, since poor people doesn't exist there

 

Muhammad Ali did not grow up poor compared to most black fighters (crap just noticed it's on your list, well if anyone argues it he was NOT poor)
I would actually argue Lennox Lewis he was kept away from poverty but he was in a poor working class family.

 

I think Lennox was grown up, just average. My relatives, actually live across the road to where he grew up in Canada, his conditions are fine. Even in the 1970's, there's NOTHING dangerous about the area he grew up, it's actually a very nice place to be raised in.

Lennox just had that something inside him.

 

I'm pretty sure that besides Marquez and Barrera, all the rest were borderline poor.

Corrie Spinks he grew up wealthy. His dad Leon was HW Champion in the 1970's.

 

Stupid thread

no matter how poor you are, there are always people worse off then you.

also university education does not mean you are middle class, then is a very narrow minded view to have
