You'll know within a year or less if your gifted .
You can do anything you put your mind and heart into.
Trick is choosing what your genetically suited to do instead of what you have seen and just want for yourself.
Chose carefully and be whatever you're best at.
Know your own strengths and weaknesses and be open think them through with a trainer to see if you can create your system from them.
IF you are supple and athletic already and have balance, stamina, heart and can think under extreme pain or pressure,its a good start.
IF you can naturally hit like an express train ,thats another good advantage that many fighters havent got,some just cant finish a fight.

all good points andre.

Boxing is strange. It's the only sport I know of where a guy can go pro but few ever get paid like a pro athlete.

so lynwood, sure, you can go pro if you train hard and smart, but you might never get a decent pay day. that's the difference between the guys who retire 4-2 fighting for $400 a fight and the million dollar guys.
