          Sorry I mis read I thought you meant fighters who came from poverty, who were successful but still didn't make money and died in poverty. Now I understand the question... Julio cesar chavez jr. Also james toney and Ali were middle class

                    That's got nothing to do with Rays poverty level.. He didn't come out of poverty like a tyson did..... Her being on welfare isn't tied to his family's income level as a youth
