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

    If a person who is exceptionally strong and is 52 and has a warrior's heart wanted to start a boxing career, and was willing to endure the gruelling training regimen, would it be feasible? Could that person fight for a title and work their way up? Would their older age allow fights to happen quicker because they" "didn't have a lot of time left"? What if they had heavy hands for their weight and were a monstor? and punched "pretty good"? (Those were the EXACT words of a professional trainer in NYC last week)

    If your skull is as thick as yours is and your head as empty as yours then the answer is yes I think he can be successful Brock.

    Still I have the same size nose as Rocky Marciano and it would get broken very quickly so I will have to use that special kind of headgear he invented when he sparred which will cover completely my nose and cheekbones

    The uppercut could get me. If I'm bobbing down and the punch is coming up at the same time---ouch!

    No way! It would be fun watching Homer brock Simpson try it though.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
