Which boxer had the worst life growing up?

i read in Oscar's book that he had no friends growing up sad stuff he used to cry alot.

After learning this, Oscar takes it by a landslide.

I think what's interesting to point out is that boxers in general have poor upbringing's. Its not a question of "everyone who boxes was a normal kid", because I think thats pretty far from the truth. Most kids who box do it because of bullying or some kind of lack of confidence bought on by something else. In my opinion boxers, of all professions, rank amongst the worst in terms of decent upbringing.

I dont wanna start a seperate debate off, but there are few champions out there who had "rich" lifestyles as children. Also I think the determination given from raising yourself from "rags to riches" is what makes a champion a champion, so being a little rich kid doesnt exactly set you up for a good career in the ring.

Just my 2 cents.

For those of you who don't know Miranda's story here's a great article that Joe Tessitore wrote before his fight with Eastman. Also there is a video that tells about it on the same page.
