    Yup. Make enough money to support yourself and your family, and not get too beat up doing it. I think, though to really class yourself a 'success' in the sport you would need a title win or two; albeit it only national ones.

      Success = supporting your family and your lifestyle, winning a fair few amount of fights and winning a lower level belt

      When you start getting to World championship level is when you're elite level IMO, then you get P4P, ATG etc

              Of course he is. He fought everyone. Tszyu, Castillo, Mayweather, Pacman and a ****load of other champs. He's also former Light welterweight and Welterweight champ.

                OK just wondering, i think success is probably based on your capabilities

                A limited Journeyman winning a world title is a success story, an ultra talented fighter with ATG potential winning only a world title is probably a failure and an underachievement

                  whether or not you're a success is determined by your goals and the expectations laid upon you

                      I would say any of the 4 world title's would have to be seen as a succesfull boxing career , providing there has been domestic title's held previoulsy and the world title was not an alphabet title !!!!!
