Can a 52 year old be a successful boxer without headgear?

It is your life but i would say it is not a good idea to get in ring now really.

You are right

Success is a nice word, but the act itself is the measure of success.

So in essence, you're telling Brock he's a fucking ass clown if he goes through with this? lol

I am just saying having the balls to do something is sometimes enough. It's not easy to be Rambo 3 and take on the entire Soviet Union, but Rambo: First Blood was much more realistic. John Rambo could have just walked away, but he said 'No, I jolly well want to stay in this town'.

Now you're speaking my language.

Have you seen "Commando" with Arnold Schwarzenegger?

Do yourself a favor n watch it.

You're never going to box mate. Maybe spar but not fight
