    Ann Wolfe.

    "She has overcome a tattered past that included being homeless with two children and jobless without family and friends to help her out. Wolfe has fought hard as she strived to protect her children and provide them with a solid home, all the while becoming one of the top lady boxers in the process."

      Both Peterson brothers (Anthony and Lamont) spent a good part of their childhood being homeless on the streets with their family

        Oh yeah Edison's upbringing makes anyone want to cry.

        Mike Tyson- in and out of school jail and fights

        Bernard Hopkins- one of the most gangsta dudes you will eva meet, was in and out of jail alos.
        How can you even compare B-hop and Tyson to Miranda or Ouma....Comparing a dude who was forced to kill over someone who made a choice to commit armed robbery... The worst ****** in the United States is a paradise to someone living in third world conditions.

          The title of this thread is "Boxers who had rough upbringing" not "Which boxer had it the worst."

              You do know that we could go ALL DAY about bad upbringings and boxing.
              Taylor also had to walk in on a loved one who was murdered by someone he knows.

              Anyway.. I heard recently, after watching the Soto/Juarez fight again.. that Soto grew up in a cardboard shaq. That sounds horrible.

                Many of them had bad upbringings but I think I'd be scared of Tyson. Bernard said he was mainly beating up and robbing guys on his level to gain street cred.

                As for Mike(according to Atlas) he was punching old ladies and knocking their teeth out. And Tyson was in a gang from what I heard. Bernard did more jail time though.

                  You really shouldn't believe Teddy Atlas. He seems to lie about a lot of ****** **** doing with boxers.
