What CURRENT boxer is the best role modle???

[andrewcuff]

good role model in that he made mistakes and had a hard upbringing but sorted himself out

and is a testiment to where hard work, dedication, the right mentality and some smarts can get you

and if you follow his example and avoid losing to white boys, you will lose less as white people make up 74% of the US population, it's mathematical, nothing racial about it whatsoever

The hard upbringing comment is correct. In Bernard Hopkins - Beyond the Glory, they show him in Philly talking to young people teaching them to avoid his mistakes. I really couldn't stand him when he said the comment about losing to a white guy, but since then I've really grown to respect the man. He's a good ambassador for the sport and a great inspiration for youths growing up in difficult neighbourhoods.

Ouma, Miranda. Compared to those two, especially Ouma, everyone else looks like a joke in terms of adversity overcome.

Hopkins in terms of those who have had what could tentatively be called a "normal" life comparatively.
