I was just wondering if there are any boxers out there who did way more than just completing middle school or having a degree on art, tourism, or something like that:rolleyes:.
Doesn't ODLH have a degree in architecture? If so, not bad.

I don't know if Juan Diaz has a degree yet but he's in college
Both Klitschko's have degrees, maybe even PHD's, not certain if they both do but I know they both at least have a regular degree.
If ODLH has a degree in architecture that's news to me. He had that long amateur career and then immediately turned pro so I kind of doubt it but maybe he does and I just didn't hear about it.
Right off the top of my head that's all I've got, I'm sure there are more.
Calvin Brock has a B.A. in Business, thus the "Boxing Banker.". Jose Hernadez is a college grad and I think he was in law school or going to law school when he KO'd Litzau. Derrick Rossy graduated from Boston College, and yes, both Klitchko have PH.D's.
I had no idea Juan Diaz was in college. Very cool.
I think the Klitchko's both have PhD's and Barrara was training to be a Barrister
Dosnt Barrera have a degree ?
Darrin Van Horn, Bonecrusher Smith and Troy Schoolboy Wortham are college graduates
Yeah in lawQuote:

OumaFan,
If I remember correctly, Oscar designed his own house in Big Bear, California, where he trains.
Yes, Juan Diaz is in college, forgot about him.
It's good to see some boxers out there did something with their heads besides just getting hit. Many boxers drop out of school, came from the streets, out of jail, etc.
Feur Frie has a Batchelors Degree in Sports Medicine from PSU
Barrera does have a college degree..In exactly what I am not sure...I do know that he was about to attend law school and decided to turn pro instead...Bet he made more as a boxer then he would have in a court room:DQuote:

I believe Roy Jones has a degree, I know he and Ron Jeremy belong to the same fraternity (go figure the boxer and the pornster)
Ronald Hearns has a criminal justice degree, Tommy made education first and wouldn't let him fight or even train to be a fighter until he earned his degree.
I'm sure I heard that Sergio Mora has a criminal justice degree on ESPN once.
Willy Dewitt finished law school after his boxing career and is now a lawyer.
James 'Bonecrusher' Smith was the first heavyweight champion to have a college degree
Bobby Czyz was in Mensa, I dont know if he had any degree's though.Quote:

Teddy Roosevelt was a champion boxer at Harvard and became President of the United States.
Chuck Davey had a Bachelors Degree.
"Touch of sleep" Davarriyl Williamson has a bachelors of science degree and a Masters in administration Services from Michigan University.
Calvin Brock has a degree
Proof that in a few cases at least.........A great Education can Indeed by over-Rated ;DQuote:

i think the klitschkos PHDs are in sports science or something, which is like nutrition, which probably does help them stay in the shape they do
