Am I too old?

[BigSkinny87]

If you start thinking you are to old, you will be to old. I was still boxing into my late 30's. I am 68 and still get in the ring to do some sparring. I can't take the hard hits like I use to, so the other fighters hold their hard punches on me, and I do tire, and I am slow, but I can still hit hard, move around, and show a young fighter a trick or two. Nature will slow me down but I don't intend to surrender to a rocking chair. How does that poem go about "do not go gently into the night"?

You Sir are a hero and inspiration! Sparring at 68, your body must have held up exceptionally well. My father is 69 and has very bad arthritis and joints, he no longer can play tennis, but golfs 3 days a week!
