fighters who worked and boxed before they became world champion

[ferocity]

theres a thread of "fight that ended in body shots" and i got to thinking to start a thread of fighters who worked while boxing untill they became world champions, also you can list contenders

here my list and what they did

oscar larios - construction worker

rocky marciano - i heard he worked in coal mine or somthing

calvin brock - banker

harold brazier - car salesman

Glenn johnson was a construction worker up until he beat RJJ.

thats surprising to me cause in that fight glenn showed up in good shape and we know what the outcome was. he probably got a few days off or probably through the whole training camp

you're right but i want names. cause i know depending on the job and how much time off you get to prepare for a fight, the job will hurt your performance. so i just want to see which fighters still became champions cause im sure it ain't easy especially at the elite level.

yeah, he played staypuff marshmellow man, but he cut about six tons in two months to fight some european guy that nobody has ever heard of.
