both fighters' sons had a lot of camera time. Can you imagine if one or both of them become boxers( I think PBF's kid is oging that route. I dont know about Oscar's kid. Oscar doesnt seem thrilled with the idea of his son growing up a boxer)? That 24/7 footage will be useful 20 years from now, and they will play that footage time after time whenever they need to do a little backstory. Kinda ironic if you ask me.
DLH and PBF's sons?

He only ever seems to talk about Oscar Gabe, he never mentions his other kids at all. I think one of them would be at least 9 maybe even older now. I'm sure they would feel a bit second rate since Oscar-gabe was a star of 24/7. By the looks of it, the other kids don't live with him or maybe he just hid them when the cameras were around.
They could use this as bargaining power when they want a Porsche 911 as they're first car.Comment

yeah but the sons (and daughters) of former world champs haven't done too bad for themselves:
-- Layla Ali (Daughter of the Greatest)
-- JC Chavez Jr. (On his way up through the ranks and looking promising)
-- Ray Mancini (Father Lenny Mancini was an elite level fighter)
-- Floyd Mayweather (Uncle Roger was great fighter and dad would have been good if he didn't get mixed up with drugs)
Boxing is a sport where you don't have to be incredibally gifted to be great. Hard work, determination and a great understanding can get you a long way in the sport (see Ricky Hatton who has no real boxing skills, but all the heart and determination in the world)Comment

Boxing is not a sport for middle class and wealthy kids.
It's a sport for poor hungry kids.
They're all just rich b****.
They would have no success.Comment

It'll be **** trying to be a sucessful pro under the shadow of your dad being Oscar DLH! You would always be compared to him, its a lot to live up too. Perhaps too much??
It'd just be like the other day on the Contender UK vs US.... Ross Minters dad was focussed upon more and he (Alan Minter) never had one days interaction with Ross's boxing.
I'm sure there are plenty more examples better than this, but that was the one that most recently sprung to mind...Comment
