im 16 and juss started..although ive liked fighting all my life and watched a couple fights when i was younger...look at it this way bernard hopkins statrted at 17 too i believe....it's all up to you on how great you wanna become, hard work in the gym pays off

no way man, you got enough time, audley harrison started like in his 20's and he won a gold in the olympics and g.foreman predicts that he will be the next world heavyweight champ

Leonard started at 16 and look how good he became. It all depends on your heart and how bad you want it

30 year olds are starting boxing...its good to start early

I am 18 and just started four months ago... I took it seriously and I Might be fighting sometime this month if they can find a superheavy... It does all depend on how serious you take it, only you can prevent things from happening by not puting in the time and work it takes to be a great boxer

i started at 19 and ive been doin it for 2 years. your a good age right now, u should take advantage of it while u can.

17yrs isn't a bad age to start boxing... There's an idea that kids that start boxing at 5-6yrs old don't make as greater fighters as the kids that start at 16-17yrs, purely because the younger starters loose their hunger by their mid twenties.
