This is thinly veiled dig.... He has a college degree in finance, just like the klitschkos hold PHD' s or just like carl froch is a part time propety developer....

He placed value on education but boxing was his passion and main emphasis...the degree in finance was a fall back had his career not panned out! He is actually now a commercial real estate agent...i love that!

He was fighting from the age of 9 years old! Had a great amateur career and a great pro career.

Very smart individual. This link explains it all:

oh I know he had a vast amateur background and had experience, that's not what I meant, just kinda thought it was like Juan Diaz getting his law degree while on top of his championship reign
These guys are doing a smart thing having an education to fall back on. It should be praised and fighters should be doing it a lot more than they currently are! Sensible.
smartest thing to do is invest
