It's not to late, you may discover you have innate ability for the fight game. But, I suggest taking a few harder pro fights early then you'll know:

A. If you can take a punch.
B. How much you really want to be a fighter.
C. How good you are.

I also think it's easier to recover from a loss early in your career rather than later.

Remember there's nothing wrong with losing a fight when your stepping up in class. You can learn more from losing to a better fighter than beating up some bum.

What division are you thinking of fighting in?

Good Luck.

Tough divisions. Have you done any sparring yet?

No way your not to old at all, you still have time to get plenty of amateur experience and plenty of time to learn. I didn't start boxing myself until I was about 18, I'm still not all that great at but I still love doing it.

Nate Campbell didn't start boxing until he was like 25 and hes a top 5 lightweight

i jus got into training when i was 18 and now im 19 i never boxed in my life but im training do u think i could ever manage to go pro or am i too old >.< of course it matters on amatuers i guess.

there are fighters who started at a late age. Antonio Tarver and Jameel McCline were almost thirty when they went pro so don't worry about it. I'm 23 and I'm training now and I hope to go pro as well. Just keep doing what you doing and you'll be alright.

A freind of mine is Pro, and he never even did a press-up til he was 18. By the time he was 20 he had turned pro.

I know Paulie Malignaggi didn't step foot into boxing gym until he was like 16 or 17 years old and he's pretty skilled.

This is a sport where you can succeed if you take it up late. The earlier the better, but there are many examples of good fighters who started late. You better be ready to work hard though.
