Were there ever any successful fighters from an upper class back ground ?

the con man living in hovels in the uk form place to place then running away from his abusive family in cracked out 80's bronx to smoking greenery at age 13 while being a janitor at a gym at 14 all the while eating a plate of hot gravel while living in a septic tank.

'and if you tell kids of today they wouldnt believe ya'

 

Thats nuthing............

 

Biebut Shumenov, read an article about him in Ring magazine. He's from a very wealthy family.

 

One of the undefeated yank prospects (Ali?) has a wealthy Dad which means he hasn't tied himself down to a promotional deal with anyone and is fighting freelance.

 

The wealthiest has to be a heavyweight fighter out of Tennesee ,by the name of Carriere.His father,Larry Carriere owns the Bristl racetrack and signed a $100 million contract with ESPN years ago.I think he was the original owner of the WBF as well and sold it when his son quit boxing.

 

Eubank's originally from Loughborough Junction i think, I don't think he was born into a higher class family.

 

wasnt graham earl upper class? im sure i watched him give a tour of his family estate on ringside donkey's ago. i know he wasnt successful at world level but he was british and commonwealth champ and didnt he have a paper belt at one point? prob wbu.

 

Barrera, his family had enough money to send him to law school. He still boxed at 16 though.

Chaves Jr.

Leila Ali.

 

eubank jr middleclass? im sure the **** would have lived like a spoilt rich kid growing up, if having a former millionaire celebrity dad doesnt constitute upper class, then what does? owning harrods?
