View Full Version : Which of the great boxers have good academic background???
AIR_KENG 02-12-2005, 07:52 AM i haven't really laid my eyes on the educational background of fighters but those that do excel in their academics and pursued a good boxing career is impressive... VK has a Ph.D, and Marco Antonio Barrera is an attorney... who else is gifted in both sides?

Lol :D

Fareastwarrior 02-12-2005, 08:36 AM Well, so far I believe the Klitschko brothers have a PhD degree in sport psychology.
neils7147933 02-12-2005, 08:44 AM DaVarryl Williamson has a master's degree in business.
Juan Diaz must have a bachelor's degree if he is in law school.
Not sure if they meet the "great" qualification; Diaz is a beltholder, though...
