    Jack Johnson started at a late age but for his era it wasn't a big deal. Tarver had a lot of amatuer experience but didn't go pro til his late 20's.

    Hard to think of many successful pro fighters with no amateur experience.
    Marciano had 12 fights.

      At those lower weights i think it will be a lot harder.

      But you are not necessarily to old, Joppy himself started late i believe and he was champ.

        I say you go for it. You only live once but be careful because this is not a joke.

          Having no fight still you're 16 is a late start. I would know.
