that sux, i want to delete a couple of my own threads there but i dont see the option on how to do that.
anyways ill give you some advice man.
it's good thing you found a boxing website, im sure you'll get a lot of help from here.
to answer you question i dont think that you too old. it's all about drive and discipline man. Sure you wont have the kind of skills that other more experienced guys have, but as they say boxing is 80% mental, and 20% physical, in other words, will overcomes the skill most of the time.
just train hard, put 110% into it and results will come. dont be in a rush, you'll know for yourself when you'll be ready. and another thing, listen to yourself. if you feel like you're good for it, dont let people tell you otherwise. age is just a number.
as far as weight goes, i say start training and let your body decide what weight is more comfortable. Going down is not necessairly gonna make you better. you may have just as much speed at 200lbs as you would at say 180. Train hard see how you body reacts to it. Dont drain and starve yourself because that's not good either.
and be prepared to get hit, but dont get descouraged man. It's all part of boxing.
