Being the son of a world champion boxer brings it's own set of pressures and expectations.
Aaron Pryor, George Foreman and Shane Mosley have all seen their namesakes follow in their footsteps.

Some fighters - not wishing for their children to live the same lives they did - even abstain from affixing the Jr. suffix to their son's names.
The Penalosa name is an institution of Filipino boxing; both Dodie Boy and Gerry Penalosa were two-division champions while brother Jonathan fought for a world title.
Their father, Carl Penalosa, was also a regional champion during the 1960s.
"That's our legacy, the boxing," said Dodie Boy Penalosa Jr., aged 20. "From my grandfather, to them and now to me. I'm the third generation."
With only one pro fight under his belt, Penalosa Jr will make his American debut this Friday, July 2 at the Citizens Business Bank Are
