Breaking Stereotypes - A white, well-educated kid from an upper middle-class suburban background, Peter McNeeley does not fit the conventional image of a heavyweight boxer in the 90's.   Although it was brought up repeatedly during the promotion of his fight with Mike Tyson, many people are surprised to learn that Peter is a college graduate.   He earned his Bachelors degree in Psychology at Bridgewater State College. |
Peter is congratulated by Adrian Tinsley, the president of Bridgewater State College. |
Katherine Gray is very proud of her grandson. |
Peter, in cap and grown, and oldest brother Tom, a producer at ESPN.   Tom looks so much like Peter he was constantly asked for his autograph at the Tyson fight in Vegas. |
