    There was a recent thread on here about Froch growing up in hell because he had to go to normal state school. I was just wonderin if y'all know of any boxers that had a decent up bringing. Apparently Barrera and Klitschko's did?

    Carl Froch definitely didn't, he had one mother of a difficult upbringing

    Muhammad Ali grew up in a decent, working-class area, but his father was an abusive drunk.

    Shane Mosley grew up in an okay area.
