What necessarily constitutes a "succesful" boxing career in your eyes?

[2501]

Would you consider journey men successful? If someone is able to make a decent living as a boxer, but not able to be close to the elite level, is that successful?

Earning $80 MILLION dollars a year like pacquiao thats pretty damn successfull.

Getting some good wins, some good money, and keeping most of your brain cells

a career that allows you to support you and your a family and one you can look back on and say"i lived my dream"

[Glamour Puss]

Taking easy fights and making as much money as possible while avoiding the tough ones that define a great fighter.

if i were a boxer??? being able to do it as a career and supply sufficient means for me and my family... as much or more than i'd make doing anything else...

as in, being good enough at it to "make a career" out of it and provide... obviously if you suck you wont make any money hardly per fight, plus you'll get less and less fights as time goes on..

however, as a spectator... "successful" only means one of the better fighters of your gen...
