    Wanna be a boxer huh? And you are new to the sport? I suggest that u should learn more about the sport before becoming a boxer so that way you will have a better chance of being succesful. Its not that easy to be a boxer. Getting hit is not fun either.

      You want to be a boxer? Just make sure you show respect to the sport itself. Don't go doing this just as a fun hobby or an exercise program please. Not if you're wanting to be a professional, or good amateur. Show the sport more respect than that. Or else I hope you get knocked out in your gym debut.

      Otherwise, best of luck. Where do you live? There might be gyms you don't know about in your area. I needed a gym to shoot a student film and thought I'd have to just use a local pro wrestling ring for my film, then just do all outdoor training type junk. I lucked up and found a real boxing gym right under my nose, just down the street from my college.

      If you live in a smaller town, the gym probably won't be listed in the phone book. Mine wasn't. And I'd never seen any advertising for it whatsoever. Total word of mouth. I got lucky finding mine, but really...I didn't even bother looking b/c I just assumed. It's south carolina, go figure.

          He's lying...for now. The best middleweight is Hopkins. Then Trinidad, Jermain Taylor, Winky Wright, and Vargas. Then Sturm. But Sturm did better against DLH than Vargas, so there is room to argue Sturm for sure, though the States have only shown Sturm once. Sturm looks like a solid contender, nonetheless.

                    Actually, to train like a professional boxer for just an exercise program is a good idea. Minus the sparring, boxing is a safe exercise compared to cycling, roller blading and kayaking.

                    But boxing is a serious sport NOT to be be taken lightly. You'll lose a few brain cells, maybe a tooth, get a broken jaw, fracture your ribs and orbital bone...etc.

                    There's a huge trade off in boxing that fans forget. For months into training, you'll be one of the most fit athletes in the world. And in just a matter of 3 rounds, you end up on the opposite spectrum. You'll be broken, bruised and bleeding and may take several weeks to months to heal up.

                    Think about this serously. Only the top 3% of boxers in the world get mentioned on TV.
