    Boxing Champions Great Outside The Ring

    Being a great boxer does not make you a great man. But I think some were. Am I wrong?

        I'm just gonna shoot this from the cuff and in vague terms for now but if anyone's interested in the source, with some details, it's definitely in one of the main three for early BK, I just don't remember which one; Boxiana, Pugilistica, or Fistiania.

        Henry "The Game Chicken" Pearce was kind of a 19th Century vigilante in the vein of Batman.

        He didn't dress up or anything like that, but he did have an inordinate amount of chance encounters to display heroism. He saved people from burning buildings and gang violence.

        Doesn't really speak too much to his character but I think it's worthy of mention.

            Andre Ward's a minister who gives a lot back to his community & mentors a lot of younger people.

              I've always liked Ward. Like a lot of fighters (kids) he grew up drinking and doing drugs. But he overcame all that and had a great career, contest to live a clean life and gives back. He's a good role model.

                    Ali and Lois were dubious in their youth.

                    Vitali is not only the most underrated heavy in history but a truly great man in every way.
