[hollo3255]

[Howlin Mad Missy]

if you're good enough you're old enough

I don't believe there is a 'good' age.

[deny]

yeah... some are good enough at 17, some 10 years later, most in between

[Douglas]

I can't imagine a 17 going pro... What age was Tyson when he went pro?

I can't imagine a 17 going pro... Â What age was Tyson when he went pro?

"Baby Bull" juan Diaz (27-0-13 KO) turned pro at 16!! on June 23, 2000. Too young to box professionally in the United States, he fought his initial three bouts in Mexico.


but yes, it is very young

[Flick]

Tyson was a one off though.
You can't compare yourself to that guy.
He knocked out least the first 15 of his opponents.

well that digdnt work, pbrobs cuds im drunb

[hitmanhatton]

juan de la rosa who was on the contender ( the guy who beat tarick) apparently turned pro at 15 but had to go to mexico to do so

[Hulk]

Many Mexican fighters turn pro at 15, it is amazing but they do. I would advise turning pro whenever you feel you have gotten all of your strength and finished growing. But I'm no expert lol so what do I know

[hitmanhatton]

i think to turn pro at 15 would be hard mentally i mean even when your are fully grown and all your streght is there u wud still think this is a grown bloke im fightin and it wud harm ur confidence

[Hulk]

WTF is a bloke?
