    that's not the point...it shows any youth that you can do both and it shows the importance of education



    in 10 years, Juan Diaz will be a big time lawyer....and in his office will be pictures of him as a boxing champion.....

      I think amir khan has knocked two people over driving his BMW. One of the people he ran over eventually died after he turned to drink and became depressed due to losing his job because of the crash.

      Definitely not a role model.

          Does Shane "Balco" Mosley set a good example using steroids?

            which is perfectly fine. dont expect him to talk about him being the greatest at anything though.

              Role models are boxers who carry themselves in a responsible manner, who kids around the world can look up to.

              Boxers like;

              Manny Pacquaio
              Miguel Cotto
              Oscar De La Hoya
              Jermain Taylor
              Lennox Lewis
              Vladimir and Vitali

              these are fighters that kids should look up to, not someone who insults and taunts his opponent when families are watching.

                Juan Diaz: Boxer and is graduating college soon. Wants to pursue law degree.

                Wladimir Klitschko: college degree.

                Pavlik: Role model for the working man.

                Andre Berto and Manny Pacquiao come to mind as well.

                I like Mosley and all but I don't think he's the best role model with the steroid cloud hanging overhead.
