And after that, you're just too old.

Anybody know of any boxing star who learned/started to box at 19?

I think Sergio Martinez was 19 or 20 the 1st time he stepped into a boxing gym but he is a great natural athlete and was a cyclist before that.

some boxers have short boxing careers

if you want a long successful one, i guess you do have to start really young.

Didn't Sergio Martinez start at that sort of age?

EDIT: About 3 people beat me to it
