            Rocky worked the docks as a collector just prior to winning the HW Championship of the World. That's gotta rank up at the top. Just saying.

                  Though not a champion "The Punching Postman" Tony Thornton worked as a full time letter carrier for the U.S. Postal Service during his career.
                  The late pugilist never won a world title but was good enough to fight Chris Eubanks, James Toney and Roy Jones Jr. in world title bouts.
