no..............................it's not about how early you start but about how good you end up being.

**solidkevin** · 11-14-2007, 03:04 PM

where should I start? Should I look for a boxing gym? Or what?

**AntonTheMeh** · 11-14-2007, 03:08 PM

Yeah Just Go To Your Closet Boxing Gym Tell Them That You'd Like To Start Boxing And You Start

Are most places free or do you have to pay? I may go to puerto rico in the summer and train there! Okay now lets say I start to be really good, where do I go from there? Where do I get into actual ametuer fights? And what does It REALLY take to go Pro?

And what will I tell my family? That I want boxing to be my career? They are probably expecting me to go to school...

No but I wouldn't leave it too much longer. But, you might find out you have some natural ability which will make it easier for you. And test your chin with some good sparing, that will help you find out if you've got the ticker for the fight game.

I'm almost positive that Paul Williams started when he was 18 or around that age.

Well I have been in various street fights....Not sure if that matters. I have a pretty good chin. I so hyped to do this now! This is my dream!

go to a gym, work hard, LISTEN to everything your trainer(s) tell you and see where it takes you
