Can i ever be a professional Boxer?

[Roy Jones Jr.]

or ring smarts, natural fighting ability, good reflexes, mental quickness, good technique, adaptability etc..

not sure about speed but i DO know i have a bit of a heavy hand. But when i lose the weight i see how my speed is after that.


I never have gotten in any fights since i was a kid but my brothers and my dad were good fighters in their 20's and 30's so i was thinking genetically i wouldnt be too bad. All i want is ONE PROFFESSIONAL fight at least...and from there the world is wide open

my twin brother is 6'' and he use to walk around at 155-160


i was thinking maybe i could be junior ww??

Your brother is 6 inches tall?

Can you be a boxer? Go to boxing classes and see how you do. It's harder than it looks, but of course it's possible.

If you want to be great, try to emulate the attitude of great fighters. A lot of great fighters that I personally know always tell me that your greatest opponent is yourself. If you can conquer your own limitations then truly the sky is the limit. Since you haven't had an Amateur career I would suggest for you to focus on building up your conditioning and skillset before you fight a legit opponent.

My friend made the mistake of entering the ring before he was ready, got KO'd and quit boxing the next day.

Focus on building up your talents until you think you can beat any opponent and then start chasing after those belts. Good luck to you my friend, I hope you go far.

Anybody who can pass the physical requirments can turn pro. How good of a pro you become is up to you.

Have some amateur fights and see how you do.
