I'm suprised Pryor accomplished what he did. The odds were stacked against him.

A little bit about Aaron Pryor and what he's gone through:
Aaron "The Hawk" Pryor was the product of a one-night stand and didn't meet his biological father until age 17. His father became a crack addict.
His mother Sara was half-Japanese, half-African-American. An alcoholic, she gave birth to seven children with five different fathers.
His grandmother was shot dead by an angry boyfriend.
He was raised on welfare and sexually abused at age eight by a Baptist minister.
One of his sisters had 12 children, all with different fathers, and all of whom were raised in foster homes. One of those children died in a fire, the result of mother's neglect.
One of his brothers, who was also sexually abused as a child, became a transvestite and a street **********.
Another brother is serving a 25-to-135-year sentence for armed robbery.
Yet another brother is a former crack addict. He was married to a fellow addict who became a **********.
Still another brother was shot in a domestic dispute and was paralyzed for life.
Pryor was shot in the forearm by his second wife ... He was tied up and had a gun held to his head in a Miami crack house ... He was shot in the hand by drug acquaintances ... He once held a gun to his own head ... He's been hospitalized with bleeding ulcers ... He did three months in prison as inmate number 15197 ... He's been married four times, and his current wife is a recovering crack addict as well.
And now Pryor is a deacon, a trainer of young fighters, a member of the International Boxing Hall of Fame, and an inspiration to the world.
