whats your fıghtıng weıght? No ıts never too late. Except for people who have been ın 50 or 60 wars lıke holyfıeld--- you and I are alot more fresh than he would be at the same age. Look at Bowe---I know alot of guys ın theır 50s who never fought but would be much fresher and "younger" shall we say than Bowe was at 29 yrs old. Go for ıt. Never too late.

I guess a rephrase of the question is more appropriate

How fast can a very late starter go pro in boxing?

Notwithstanding any amateur requirements which may apply officially or unofficially in any given state, I would DESTROY any cruiserweight pitted against me after 4 months of rigorous training, & likewise any1 else pitted against me every 2 weeks to a month thereafter"." If only I could find a trainer & manager. That's the MF'n TRUTH"."
