    Prince Charles Williams , The President Ike Ibeabuchi , The Duke Tommy Morison , King Arthur Williams .


    Also since ppl bring Chris Eubanks Jr. what about JCC Jr. and Hector Camacho Jr. ?

    MAB was only middle class , as opposed 2 upper class .
    Wasn't 1 of Duran's nicknames "El Cholo" ?

    The K bros.

    Maybe not what we would call upper class but in the communist soviet block where they grew up their father was a military pilot which was one of the highest paid jobs.

    Was their father high ranking when they were born/young? :think

    I saw a bit of that official Klitschko documentary film before it was taken down (i'd planned to watch it later but MegaVideo got zapped), & their first house seemed like a very small bungalow. I suppose i'll try to find that clip...

    Olivares came from a well to do family apparently though maybe more like middle class.
