    I would be cool with it. I wish I was aware of boxing when I was 10 years old. I think I was probably busy playing with Barbie and Ken or something of that ilk. Or else playing football.

    No doubt.Anything that could encourage him, keep him grounded & active in body and mind.I'd rather have him training-learning-experiencing with me in his ear rather than knocking around in the streets.Have always looked at Boxing as a metaphor for lifes trials and tribulations,one day your on top of the world and the next not so much,and vice-versa.Now....clearly if the little man progresses but just did not have it...was in there just to play a tough guy and "kick someones ass" but was getting knocked around....loosing interest,and school-career were suffering,thats the point at which pops has to step in and be a father.

    Don't become one of these loon parents that tries to live vicariously through the child.....the mom entering the 4 year old daughter in beauty pageants,wearing more make-up than a Geisha and hair straight out of the 80's....or these over bearing Dads loosing his mind and yelling,screaming and berating his kid from the sidelines of a little league game for dropping the ball .Let them have fun most importantly.

    People thought that Barbie came with Ken but thats not true!
    She was faking it, she actually came with G I Joe.

    It's a little bit freaky, but he/she/it has astounding footwork.

    In fact it looks a little how I imagine Hatton to look when he starts training for a fight. Huge body mass and small arms flailing about. Impressive, but very scary to behold.

    screw what the kids want. Make 'em fight. Sort the wheat from the chaff. Both DLH & MAB didn't want to box as kids. They did ok because they got dragged in to a gym
