Since last monday, ive red alot of boxers biography on the internet and watched boxing documentary and it made me realised that all the top fighters come from the same shitty background. They're raised in the projects, their dads forcing 'em to box and they all refuse to let their son play any other sports, then someone dies in the familly, blab balbal tragedie over and over and then they become rich and famous! is there any boxer who comes from a normal familly, who just decided that boxing was fun and that is was what he wanted to do with his life ? :boxing:
The observation that every famous boxer seems to come from a similar tough background highlights how adversity often fuels the drive to succeed in combat sports, turning hardship into championship material. It is a recurring theme across generations.

Danny Williams is the special exception?
I was being nice to Vitali, as I was comparing Williams to some of his other fights. Williams was only 5 lbs above his weight in his previous fight, and almost 20 lbs below a fight he had a year and a half after losing to Vitali.
But if you'd like you can always adjust it and say that all 4 of them were fat, old, or both.
I like your sig except I now have to make an adjustment.
After beating Sam "Food Next" Peter, he has now beaten 4 top 10 Ring ranked heavyweights, and 3 of them were fat, old, or both fat and old.

FMJ was middle-class I think
Anthony Mundine
Roy Jones was as well

i hate futbol for the sole reason of how mexicans get the shit milked out of them for being idiots and thinking their futbol is good.........
i love it that they barely know boxing though.....****ing idiots dont deserve to watch that shit....i actually hate it that the ****ing tv stations now show the delayed broadcasts........now some idiots pretend they know shit........
yo can say that again ... when i saw the whole clan in the uk for the khan fight i was thinking they dont really look like a rich and prominent family ...
yeah.....when i saw them i thought to myself "pinche barrera se trajo a toda la perrada" :rofl:
Juan Diaz just graduated from college, so there's one
Barrera was well off enough to go to law school and said **** that gay shit
Joe Calzaghe is basically the Peyton Manning of boxing. Well off and doesn't come off as an athlete at all but somehow gets it done
the possibilities are endlesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssth
dunno.....maybe they are too......
their money definatly came from scenography though.....
heres an article where marco's backfground is briefly mentioned.......its also proof of the misconception people have of the state of boxing in mexico......just cus hbo says its huge, its not huge.......
barrera here says people barely know him.....

yeah he was, he grew up in council housing in britian, thats the equivalnet of a project house in the US
Saying i'm poor that where i grew up! nah its true shit places, i'm better off now though!
you can be sure most of the american boxers who were hyped when amateurs, particularly in the late 80's till mid 90's, did not struggle....promoters usually gave them shitloads of shit so they would sign with them when they turned pro.................de la hoya was poor as shit but when he became a hot shot amateur, shelly finkel was paying for everything, cars, bills, mothers health care, you name it...
...his parents look like they were Nouveau riche though.....thats why they dont look like your typical rich family...

i thought they also had a pretty successful carpet company ...
Had it but didn't do to well, it was Rickys uncles company aswell i think, i'll read up on him anyway and get back to you about this one, but like i said i remember them struggling with the costs!
marco antonio barrera's father is the owner of a company that builds scenography for television, theater and film that has worked a lot with the biggest spanish speaking television station in the world(televisa)...his parents look like they were Nouveau riche though.....thats why they dont look like your typical rich family...
Nope they struggled until Ricky went pro, they had nothing, he pays for most of their bills now aswell! Couldn't buy nothing just covered the costs of the pub!
