Re: Can a 47 year old become a competitive boxer?
Brockton ..... I boxed amateur for 12 years (Detroit and Chicago golden gloves, British schoolboys etc ...... 56 amateur bouts undefeated, lots of trophies) so I sort of knew what I was doing.
I'm 42 now, but I wouldnt think I could get fit enough to compete properly at a high level again.
So, I guess the answer to your question is what you mean by 'competitive' - you could probably do some sort of white collar boxing and maybe even get a couple of low level amateur bouts ...... but don;t expect you are necessarily going to suddenly become a 'monstor for your weight' or anything (to paraphrase a famous old post)
Be real, man.
If God wanted us to be vegetarians, why are animals made of meat ?
