Thread: Is 23 to old to start boxing?

I realy want to start and Box at an amatuer level but do you think 23 is a bit to old?

Rocky Marciano was, its never to late .

No.

Good luck, train hard.

Ive got one fighter who's only semi-pro at 30.
One who's ammie at 27
And one who only has 3 pro fights at 37
Any one of them could brutalize anything I put in front of them

only in dog years.

Ive decided i am going to start after new year thanks for your replys

Technically no. But unless you going to the full effort into it I would advise against it. My cousins are 9 and 12 years old. There just clowning fools so far. Key words are so far. But there in the gym 6 days a week. There in the process of moving to home studies. There committed. Ad it's paying off

You'd advise against it?
What if he just wants to learn and compete as an amateur for a few years? He's plenty young.

Read my post again. If he's not going to put in a full effort than yes I advice against it. Amateurs can kick his ass just as well as a pro. If he's going to put in the full effort by all means go ahead. Newsflash sweet heart. Boxing is not a sport you can go in half ass in.

hmmmm im only 20 maybe i should start again but not now its the holidays and i like to eat alot during the holidays.
