Im sure threadstarter is the same guy who asks this same question every couple weeks just under a different name. What answer are you looking for, just go take up boxing. lol sorrie havent got a clue what your talking about? does this qusetion get asked alot on these forums? and am only 22 and am not turning to pro boxing for at least another 3 years

i saw a guy's first pro fight at 38 years old, he knocked out holyfield ( LOL, not evander).... if you're gonna turn pro late, be active

weren't there 2 boxers that fought in THEIR 90's?!?!?!?! I remember reading a crazy story like that a few years ago on this site. I dont think it was an official professional boxing match though, i doubt they would be sanctioned lol

the oldest fighters to start boxing

Larry Holmes fought Butterbean in a 10 round heavyweight fight at 52 I think.. this was in 2002 if I am not wrong :)

Do you mean when they first start out or when they still fought? if when they still fought I suppose people like Foreman, Hopkins, Robinson and Holyfield

anthony mudine was 25 i think.
