I had to pick pacquiao, 3rd world country, no education at all, he ran away from home like 11 years old, his family was dirty poor, became a name fighter in his country,went to the usa, rejected by the big name trainers like steward, and rejected by the big name promoters like Top Rank, freddie roach took him in after only 2 weeks training he was to be a walk over last minute filler for the champion ledwaba...and demolished him....then larry merchant says "I dont know who he is I have never heard of him but I wanna see him again" something like that...dude is an ICON in his country and went from eating scraps to making Millions in the united states and asia.
if that doesn't give you hope I dont know what will.
Then I would go wit hopkins turning his life around.
then Oscar delahoya coming up from East Los to win the gold and become the biggest draw in boxing.
then Carlos baldomir
Kelly Pavlik shouldnt be up there just yet yes he did win the title in dramatic fashion but his story is still unfolding its a bit soon he is just a young kid 25 years old. I just feel he hasnt reached the star status he should be at because they aint pushing him right which is a shame.Last edited by Domain; 04-05-2008, 07:41 PM.Comment
