when are you considered a boxer??

[infamous larryx]

None of that matters. If you have to ask those questions then you're not a boxer. You know it when it happens. Anyone can train, and anyone can have fights. Remember when Tyson held that press conference, and he said it's just not in him anymore? It's the same feeling except the opposite when you start out, you know what you're gonna be, you live it, breath it, and can't imagine doing anything else. When you feel that then you know. At least that's what I felt..

i agree..................

boxing can help your life so much

it disiplines you,it helps you healthwise,it keeps you away from foolishness,and gives you direction..it should be instituted in schools..

I would say when you can fight and beat most of the population around you??????

most of the population around you??? There's journeyman and paid punching bags that genuinely love the sport, sleep, eat and breath the lifestyle, but have around a 2-15 record. are they not boxers???

When you have your first fight

And although it depends, but you generally become a serious boxer after 8-10 fights. Just from what I have seen and experienced.

Agreed.

I'd love it to be a collegiate sport. (well at least a known collegiate sport)

That would be amazing.

When u start officially boxing as a amateur, had 13 bouts so far. top 8 in england at weight and age, looking to become national champ next year!

You sound similar level to me. What weight?

I'd base it off ability. I know some extremely good cats that are in the gym everyday but they have no desire to compete. If you're able to fight with the instinct to box purely, you're a boxer.
