Not every fighter is from the streets. Ali, Leonard, Barrera were middle class but were raised to be winners. I don’t think it’s the class you are raised in, it is the mentality you are raised in. Benn and Eubank are upper class but they have a winning mentality. Take a look at other sports, it’s about mentality and what messages you receive growing up. I don’t like McEnroe or Murray yet their up bringing was middle class and yet yet their mentality was teak tough. Go through sports especially rugby union (not league) the majority come from middle to upper class and union has raised some iron tough players. No I was not middle class and worked from 16 on the docks, yet I also know those upper class kids are raised with a mentality to be winners.
