Could you have made it as a pro boxer?

Ho no, no, no, no, my friend. Champions are born, not made. Sure, you have to train your ass off to become a champion, but that's only after you're lucky enough to be born with the right amount of the right ingredients. Even a club level fighter has natural traits that the average person does not possess. This sport is very, very tough. I some what agree though. I think if your parents live healthy life and your genes are clean, then it all depends on you. but this is how I feel about boxing. if i'd train football for 10 years - I doubt i could hit professional level. I guess it can go either way

With the right training do you think you could have become a pro boxer? Honest opinions please! No. I'm either a doormat or homicidal. All the power punchers woulda KO'd me before I got pissed off and I'd be seen as a sadistic freak show by what I'd do to the others.:frown::frown::frown:

As TS stated - with a right training, could you become pro boxer?. so the answer would be easy - any one can. you don't born to become champion - you train for it. of course unless you born with some defects and illness, that prevent you from training Ho no, no, no, no, my friend. Champions are born, not made. Sure, you have to train your ass off to become a champion, but that's only after you're lucky enough to be born with the right amount of the right ingredients.

I'm pretty sure 99% of posters on here never even had an Amateur bout, and less than that had any sparring sessions. You wouldn't call a pro boxer 'coward', 'ducker' or any of the other stupid names if they had. I had a few amateur fights & I can tell you it takes a special breed to fight properly in the ring. A pro with a 10-99 record would be the crap out of 99% of the posters on this site. And, yes, I was crap. I was fast but stupid. I'm a much better fighter in my 40's than I was in my teens & have outboxed a few 20 something colleagues in fun bouts. Its all about the jab. Agreed to every point. Another word I refuse to use is "bum."

Probably not, but it's a sport in which I wish I had partaken growing up.

A lot of people may have the skills...but it's a different story to take a shot! Agreed! Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android

^^^ Same... I'm pretty sure I could've won a few not sure if would've had a +.500 record though.. Yo Cubanguynyc I'm gonna be in Miami this weekend I'm gonna try and catch the fight at the miccosukee casino in Miami ... I know you're up north but gotta throw the invite out there Check your PM, bro.

No, I lack the discipline.

Define "made it." Are we talking about someone that matters, champion or top-ten? Then my answer is no. Even being a successful journeyman, say 25-10 is doubtful. lol If you've ever had any experience fighting, a 25-10 professional record is quite worthy of respect. ^^^ Same...

If by 'made it' you mean win domestic titles and above, then no.

No, which is why I'm posting on these boards.
