klitschko bros both has PhD's and their dad was a highly ranked official in the military as well. so im assuming life wasnt hard for them growing up?

[FLYBOY]

muhammad ali had a middle class upbringing... floyd mayweather was born into a pretty well off family also... klitschko bros were born into a very well off family

Yep, both have a PhD in Sports science.

[Silencers]

Marco Antonio Barrera is the first that comes to mind.

I don't know about Floyd Mayweather Jr. From what I heard, he grew up working class, but never really poverty-stricken.

Marco Antonio Barrera grew up middle class or upper middle class.

Muhammad Ali grew up middle class, maybe lower middle class.

Shane Mosley grew up middle class.

Miguel Angel Gonzalez, Darnell "The Ding-a-ling Man" Wilson, Joe Calzaghe, Anthony Mundine came from middle-class backgrounds.

That's why I said I could imagine him being one of them. When you see him cry in the ring after losing to Margarito.

???

Listen to him talk, to his grammar and so on. Clearly not a prep school kid.

Floyd Mayweather never had a poor upbringing.

His father and uncle did very well, fighters on their level made more money then than nowadays.

I doubt they made that much. At least not Floyd Sr. Boxers, other than the big names, have always been underpaid.
