it's never too late, remeber what teddy atlas says: "If you're gonna turn pro late, be active." if you really want to be a boxer, start now, you're just the right age. join your local amatuer boxing asssociation, the most important thing is to find a coach who will focus on the fundamentals, which are:

1. good jab ( you'll know when it's good when u can win rounds with just the jab

2. good D - learn how to cover up, it'll save your ass

3. good technique - remember, fighters like james toney have long careers because of good technique

merry christmas, and good luck kid, i hope you become a boxer

I dont know anything about that guy. But i wanna be a proffesional after i finish high school. Is it hard to be a boxer when you are still studying in college?

Thanks man. Well right now i think i have a very nice jab and good offense but the most difficult thing to learn is the defense. Im working on it though.

Oh ya i forgot about him. Well i might as well give it a try. Who knows, maybe i'll become a world champ.
