Can a 52 year old be a successful boxer without headgear?

You could die if you try to box at a high level what are you trying to go for. I mean 52 in boxing years you might as well be a 100 you are 20 years past your prime maybe even more and at your age you will not heal soon if you fight. It is your life but i would say it is not a good idea to get in ring now really.

You are right

If you want to box, then go for it. I look upon everything as an existential act and boxing is a microcosm of existential philosophy. It makes no sense to be hit in the head at 52, but perhaps that is the point. The nay sayers will say you are afraid of death, but in reality it is an act of liberation, of self awareness, of wonder, of pain. It is to be and that is reason enough. Success is a nice word, but the act itself is the measure of success.

So in essence, you're telling Brock he's a fucking ass clown if he goes through with this? lol

I am just saying having the balls to do something is sometimes enough. It's not easy to be Rambo 3 and take on the entire Soviet Union, but Rambo: First Blood was much more realistic. John Rambo could have just walked away, but he said 'No, I jolly well want to stay in this town'.

Now you're speaking my language.

Have you seen "Commando" with Arnold Schwarzenegger?

Do yourself a favor n watch it.

You're never going to box mate. Maybe spar but not fight
