    Well someone did mention Mosley...

    I don't recall too many problems wit Chad Dawson...Pavlik was working class...I don't think Spinks was poor.

    Not sure about Paul Williams...

    Malignaggi wasn't poor...jus cuz ur from Brooklyn doesn't mean u aint living well

      Hatton wasn't poor...neither was Andre Berto

      I don't think Andre Ward was...
      Hatton didn't have much money, they nearly got threw out of his pub when they lived there never had money to spend themselves just covered the costs, its in his autobiography (which i have right next to me!)
