    Default Boxers with a degree

    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.
    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

    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.

    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

    Peter McNeely is a college grad- Phsycology degree I believe, as is Alfonso Gomez, Sean O'Grady, Dana Rosenblatt is a college grad, Shannon Miller Accounting degree,

    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.
