Im 22, 5'5 and 150lbs, I know, I know. I need to lose weight. Im in decent shape but have been lifting for about 2 years now (on and off). I boxed when I was younger but nothing serious.
My question is, have you ever heard of anyone going pro and doing anything starting this old?
Hey man ya 22 isn't to old i've heard of guys who started boxing at 30 and had a good amature go but i don't know about getting in to pros. I know one old pro (he's like 62) and i think he boxed to middle forties but not for shure. anyway you should do it well goodluck

Bernard Hopkins went pro when he was 22 or so I thought
