    Which produces the best fighters

    I was talkin with some friends i posed this question to them.
    Is it better for fighters to be raised in poverty, using old equipment, run down gyms, if any. Or is better for him/her to come from a stable enviroment, good equipment, gyms with all the bells and whistles, and some pocket change. Some people say being raised in the streets is better. That it provides the fighter with more drive to accomplish his goals. Others say that the gym and equipment provides invaluable skills that you couldnt get anyway else. So What do you think?

    It comes down to talent and drive, no matter what you come from, you just have to have the most heart and ring skills.

      I would actually back some1 hu is from the gutter you know. I mean the area that i live in isnt that good and the gym is run down kinda. Nevertheless its the people that surround you that make u what u r. Obviously ur own self drive is important but i dont think that the kin of equipment is what matters.

      In mike tysons case he was brought up being bullied and that must have given him that "survival" instinct that he has, which is then transferred into the ring.

      Its like when footballers are told not to have sex the night before a game because it may hinder their performance and they may lose the drive. Same sorta thing in boxing, especially when ur from the gutter and u need to fight a lot more you grow up having it.

      Overall id say some1 hu is pampered as a child would work out to be a worse fighter. I cant rele explain what i mean though.
