Should this boxer get 30 amateur fights before turning pro ?

[WillieWild114]

This is one of those "asking for a friend" type of threads if you catch my drift.

But yeah OP, you wont know until you try, just try to have a job or something...just incase.

Nah im not him it was just on my mind

[WillieWild114]

3 years ? Regardless of any excuses, he could have made something happen by now if he was that serious

Sounds like you should stop wasting your own time thinking about his boxing career because its obviously not on his mind

Honestly thinking about it now your unfortunately right

[WillieWild114]

Tell him to jump in as a pro right NOW !!!
The HW div has never been more shltty.
Your friend could very well be the next HW champ

I told him to since he spars with a prospect who he commonly matches with pretty well but he say he wants 30+ amateur fights

He rather get experience that is invaluable. The only way to test yourself and that managing of distance

Not sure the 30 extra amateur fights will impact his pro career much. I think he should just turn over. Learn on the job like alot of Mexican fighters have.

Only advantage staying amateur would have is if he won some big tournament giving him some appeal to promoters when he turns over. Easier said than done considering the activiy level to this point

He will regret not taking advantage of such a shltty era

If he's in the US he can fight like 30 fights or more in a year if he's serious about it.

I had 10 fights in like 3 months and boxing isnt even really that big in here.

It depends on the area you live in. Obviously in major cities there's more opportunity while rural areas you have to cast your net out over a larger area. But guys at my gym can get a handful of fights every few months and we're not exactly in a major amateur boxing area.
