Rocky Marciano was, its never to late . ;D
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.

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.Quote:

Is 23 to old to start swimming? Is 23 to old to start running?
Boxing is a sport. Regardless of the age you begin at, like all sports, you reap what you sow.
If you pursue boxing you could have a good amateur career as the cut off point is 35.
Don't allow people to dictate what you can and cannot pursue. If you want it make it happen
I had a Kid start at 24, when He was 28 He was British Lt welter Champ but He was a grafter. ;D
what he went started from scratch at 24 ?Quote:
