Not really, he was 23. Alot of top pros turn pro YOUNGER than that. Hop coulda truned pro MUCH earlier cuz he started boxing at age 10, but he went to prison.

Hop was pretty old when he turned pro I think.

Calvin Brock its too early to tell how good he will become but he is up there in age and started late I do believe.
