We're not going to claim every boxer will be living the dream. But if you're in it for the long haul, and you're willing to roll with the punches, there is a lot of room for fulfilling work in boxing.

Whatever the title, fighting for it and holding it is an honor that all boxers respect.

There is the obvious glory of the game itself and that fancy feeling of standing over a fallen foe. Beyond that, though, many of the most famous heavy-hitters are involved with various forms of charity and philanthropy.
