Academic boxers

[mickey malone]

Who knows of any academic boxers?

I know that both Klitschkos are well educated with degrees.. Bonecrusher Smith has one as well.. A couple of UK fighters were noted as members of Mensa, Terry Marsh & Nicky Piper.. I believe Lennox Lewis was well schooled also.. Any more guys?? Look forward to reading.. Regards MM

Juan Diaz!!!!!!!!!!!!

Juan Diaz is studying to be a lawyer I think?...Yeah the Klits are both Doctors. It's rare to find any academic boxers really they usually don't have normal childhoods neither(not all but a high percentage grow up hard, poor, or to an already boxing family)

Calvin Brock known as the boxing banker got a degree in finance or accounting and spent some time doing that I believe. Another Academic in Wlad Klitschko knocked him the **** out though.

Just thought Audley Lanternchin has a degree also (sporting Psycology I believe) & he's lost to some "Grave Diggers"!

why is that sad? Most professional athletes in general are not well educated and boxers specifically typically come from very tough backgrounds where eduction is not usually readily availible or any good.

Not sure.. Would have thought Don King had quaffed most of his education fund with the money he spewed out of his old man, but joking aside Chaz fights very intelligently..
