Why the best fighters come out of poverty?
Why do you think most of the greatest fighters came from poverty? In a strange way, boxing in the United States has evolved over the history of immigrants. Poor Europeans come and grow in the United States was the first wave of fighters Jack Dempsey. That African Americans as Mike Tyson. Mexicans now have a passion for boxing and are in the lowest state of the hierarchy in the United States. Philippine Manny Pacquiao, considered the best pound for pound fighter living in poverty like many poor Asians after running away. So does that feel they have more "heart" of the fighters are normal? They have more of a will to survive and fight for your home? Or do you define "heart" differently or to assign any reason why other great fighters come from a humble background?
Because they have more "desire" and more "Determination" to work hard in sports to be a champion. Not a sport for life ….. or make it big or who live in poverty.
