How come most Boxers come from Poor or Rough areas?

[IwatchBoxing]

FROM MY EXPERIENCE most top boxers DO NOT come from tough ******s etc. That is hard for some to believe but it is true. Roy Jones -for example- came up on a farm ona quiet street , believe it or not.

Give us a list of poor to rich boxers.

Jones - middleclass
Barrera- rich

[leff]

Because hard lives makes hard men,hard men makes good boxers.

it also got something to do with class, take briton for example the rich go fox hunting, play tennis, golf and cricket the workingclass box and play football.

there are exections ofcourse like me, i box cause i love it.
