      I'm sorry, but the term "rough upbringing" seems a bit relative. Maybe we should define generally speaking what a "rough upbringing" is.

        Money was a problem growing up, some sort of tradgedy in life, things didn't come easy to you, and your story makes people want to cry.

          HAHAHAHA. Your story makes people want to cry. That was classic.

          Skills be tripping!!

          Then, I would have to disagree about Floyd. He mentions having a drug addict for a mother, drug dealer for a father and living in a 1 bedroom apartment with seven people. Definitely doesn't sound like a walk in the park, don't you think??

              Obviously, I did not know that. I was judging a book by it's cover. De La Hoya seems so refined in his manner, I was of the impression that he was born with the proverbial gold spoon in his mouth.

                  Floyd Mayweather had it easy.

                  I heard Joan Guzman had it real hard, so did Kassim Ouma and Edison Miranda
