My birthday is Feb 29 84. u?

answered in the PM ;) I'm not that much older then you technically.

as soon as my kid is seven I am throwing him in the ring whether I have a boy or a girl and when he or she grows up they can pursue it as a career if they want to and I will be their manager since by then I will be a practicing lawyer

This of course is assuming you have their same natural ability and understanding of the art, but you happend to not start at a young age. Or is it absolutely necessary to have a long, drawn-out amateur career (5-10 years) to be able to perform like that.

I think that some of these ''born fighters" should be considered in their am standings as they come up in life...not technically or literally...but figureatively.

If all they do is fight from a young age on...that's pretty much the same as having an am career...just not a defined one.

Bernard Hopkins had an insane am record...something like 94-3 or 95-4 as an amateur...I believe I'm pretty close on that number.

That's when he was called "the Terror" before the Ex.

He also won the National Middleweight Pen title 3 or 4 times.

The Nard weren't no joke.

I see what you're saying but, I wanna hear a definate yes or no from you experts on here hehe. If you got the goods but start late, can it be done? Or at best can you be just a really good fighter?

were u born on a leap yr or sumat ?? ???

Not an expert...but I mean...yeah...I'm sure that it can be done...but I would imagine tha tthe fighter would have quite a few disadvantages depending on who he was matched against throughout his career.

That's just such a wide ass open question.

Depends on the human.

There aint that many real life Rocky's out there.
