Is 27 too late to step into the ring

[Bookkeeper]

I am 27 and boxed for six years in the military, I suffered a serious injury that almost ripped my growing apart. Do you guy's think it's too late to jump in the ring or should I get in there and be like an old Rocky Bolboa. I don't want any titles or anything like that but I think it can keep me sharp.

In short the answer is no. Although it goes without saying that you will have to be realistic about how much you can get from the game.

Thanks my British friend, I am not looking to be like Tito Trinidad or anything, but I think it would be great if all of us were able to step in the ring and be productive, in the least it would keep us on great shape.

Congratulations, you're the millionth person to ask that kind of question. As long as your doctor says your fit to train, then there's nothing wrong with you boxing.

Anyways what kind of aspirations do you have in regards to boxing? Do you want to keep fit? Do you want to compete amateur/professional. As long as you're willing you'll do ok.

So many people ask because they are insecure, sometimes they need a little push to get out there, I just would like to stay fit, boxing is a great workout, and it will keep you sharp just in case you ever need your skills in a fight.

Where theres a will, theres a way.
Follow your heart and you'll never go wrong.


Good luck,

Easy bomber, I didn't mean to come off as a smart a** just poking some fun like I always do.

Anyways, I thought it was the thought of being fit is motivation in itself. If that's your goal why don't you give it another shot and see if you like it or not. Naturally if you don't like it you wouldn't stick with it for long right?

Let give you the buy-you-a-drink equivilant of me trying to make amends. Have another CC on me. Forgive me, will ya.

I gotta tell you that Rocky Marciano gave it ago when he was 24, and he didn't have the experience that you have. What is important for him was that he was willing and more importantly was that he liked boxing. Now with how much time time you've dedicated to this board I wouldn't doubt for second that you like boxing. Now if you want to try the gloves on again and find out that you enjoy that part then go for it.

That injury isn't going to stop you, so just give it your all and have some fun. Keep sharp, keep fit and become a champion in your own right.

Anyways no hard feelings, I'm sorry if I offended you in what I said before.
