Fernando Vargas WANTED everyone to believe he was street before Delahoya whupped on him. i'll never forget that ****. :rofl
Patterson was born in rural North Carolina in 1935,one of eleven children, and raised in the Bed-Stuy area of Brooklyn, which would later produce Mike Tyson and Riddick Bowe.At age 10 he was classified as a juvenile delinquent - the then-fashionable term for young thug - and sent to Wiltwyck School for Boys, a genteel title for a reform school, in upstate New York. At Wiltwyck, he took up boxing. "If it wasn't for boxing," as he phrased it in his autobiography,"Victory Over Myself," "I would probably be behind bars or dead." In interviews through the course of his life, he would repeat the sentence verbatim.
William Guthrie did prison time for selling drugs or something before he became a pro boxer. Earnie Shavers was a knucklehead in his younger days. James Toney used to slang crack back when he played high school football.
He chased off 3 armed people that tried to jack his car is the first one that springs to mind. That and you constantly hear about him getting into scuffles..Plus look how he acts in the ring, how much nicer could he possibly be on the streets haha..err..maybe not constantly but theres been a few times.
