    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.

    Do you only mean famous ones? OK I'm not sure about famous ones but one of my coaches has a degree and he had a couple of bouts. I have a degree and I've had 12. I think Hitmandonny is reasonably close to getting one. It's not so uncommon really.
