I met a wellknown trainer in Newark, NJ's Red Brick Gym back in 1996, and he took one look at me and said I should fight at about 147. Im only 5 foot 6, and my normal out of shape weight is about 185. I know I woulda been good at 147, with real heavy hands for that weight.
Now Im in South Korea, and the 147 pounders are weak as shit, they couldnt knock out a fuckin fly or even a fly's egg. Im seriously thinkin of going into boxing at age 47 just to knock these weak ass motherfuckers out. Yes Im fighting in a much lower quality market, but hey, maybe Ill be the South Korean welterweight champ soon.
Ok, wow!
Firstly, congrats on your power, you possess the only thing needed to win any boxing match, if only Mike Tyson or David Tua had some power, they'd have never lost.
Secondly, congrats on your ambitions to take over the South Korean welterweight boxing scene, I know it is a tough market and achieving your dream will most certainly rank you somewhere between 4,990,787 and 6,898,787 most famous boxer in the world, which would be a big achievement for a 47 year old fat midget with a big nose.
Lastly, I commend you for taking the time to disregard every skill that is required in boxing. I am at a loss as I believed that the smooth defensive skills of a Floyd Mayweather or the foot work of a Manny Pacquiao or even the sneak headbutt tactics of an Evander Holyfield were all important in someway.
My life in boxing has been changed.
That is all.
