 Boxing: Perception, Reality, and Legacy: An Interview with Bobby Czyz: Introduction To a Three Part Interview
Bobby Czyz, the articulate and multi-talented "white, bright, and polite" middleweight prospect and "matinee idol" was actually shunned and excluded by NBC as one of "Tomorrow's Champions" in 1980.
As Czyz told reporters early in his career, he was "the antithesis of the stereotypical fighter." In a difficult cost benefit analysis, Bobby ultimately chose boxing as a career because he believed that he could leave a permanent and indelible legacy for himself and his family while making a lot of money in the process.
Bobby Czyz became a two-time champion as a cruiserweight, fighting much naturally bigger and stronger men than he did in Mustafa Hamsho, and in his light heavyweight fights as well.

Bobby's intellectual capacity was certainly nurtured in the transition, but the move from the inner city to the suburbs wasn't an example of seamless bliss.
Bobby feared failure and not performing up to expectations based on his own goals, but it was taken to another level if he made a mistake that would result in a beating by his father.
