    Who here are boxing PROFESSIONALS?

    In an attempt to discern from the posers, nobodies, dreamers, bums and forum warriors to those who actually do bust their asses in the gym, I want to identify who here are professional boxers?
    How did you get into professional boxing, was it easy to register as a pro, did your manager find you fights when you wanted them, and how often can you fight as a pro (Once a month, every 4 months, etc etc). Yeah...how much cash a fight did you get?
    Without getting too personal...I do not want to bother with going into amateurs (I am more of a power slugger who intends to rely on my strength and power, not a boxer who dances around the ring). It is my basic understanding that you can jump into being a professional without being an amateur right?

    Let's get right to the meat right now.

      You would have more chances of getting tips in the training section. Since that is where all the people that actually train post. Iceman John Scully posts on here, he is an ex pro boxer and a good trainer. Nate Campbell has been said to have an account here too.

      I am no pro but i have some amateur fights i recently went back to boxing after a couple of years of training in mma. I would highly suggest getting some amateur fights just to know what you're getting into, you might think you're all that but you don't know until you had some fights.

      I'm not telling you to have an extensive amateur career, just a couple of fights to get you ready, like 5 or 10. Best of luck to you.

          The reason why I am aversive into going into the Amateurs is because from what I read, it is mainly based on a point system and not really based on damage or slugging styles. Jameel Mccline mentioned somewhere that after he got out of the pen, he went straight into professional boxing, having discovered boxing in prison . What made him so successful was the fact that he sparred full contact with the best professionals several times a week for 5-10 round all out bouts. This is how he got that fighting experience. By doing this he was able to get into Professionals within a 6 month mark since he joined the gym. He was also able to get his endurance through the roof doing this sparring routine so consistently.
          From your own personal experiences, is amateur really all about form, points, blocking hits, and not really all about damage?

          I want to take severe beatings (Not life threatening) but getting knocked out cold if they can do it, from experienced professionals in the ring at the gym and get a feel for what is going to happen for a long time down the road when I choose to venture down it.
          I don't go into this sport having the wrong mentality that I am going to "crush" all of these people, unconquered like Tyson did in the 80's, but I want to test my willpower and drive by getting beat the **** out of....
          just thinking about Blue collar work, doing the 9-5, working in some warehouse, going to college, and just constantly taking orders from other people make me literally want to puke...
          Are u guys also like this?

            Are you implying that no one aside from professional boxers are allowed to want to talk boxing with other people?

              I don't mean to sound rude or anything (But probably sound rude anyways). But I don't want to, in any way whatsoever online or in person anywhere for that matter, associate myself with boxing fans or critics (Who has never been in a gym before, or people just recreationally boxing). I just want criticism from Professionals who really ARE the ones hungry to become successful, admired, and tap into their own primitivism that got them ahead of the other 20 million ***** cells competing for the womb, into this world.
              That's all...
