Comments Thread For: Rau'shee Warren Lost Contact Lenses, Eye Pro Run

Antonio Tarver did fairly well and he started his career in his late 20's. As well as Ivan Calderon. Hopkins, a future HOF'er started in his mid 20's (though he wasn't an olympian).

Wrong, Hopkins boxed alot as a teenager and had over 90 amateur fights, as well as his prison boxing experience. This whole thing about Bhop being a late starter is simply not true.

Sergio Martinez started late, something around 20/21 being the first time he walked into a gym. Plenty of people have started late and did well, but most of the reason late starters don't succeed is because they get discouraged easily and quit. It takes time in the gym, years and years to develop the necessary skills to compete at the world level, that is time not alot of people are willing to spend through their 20s on a dream that nobody believes in. Most people want to be partying, going out to clubs, chasing girls during their 20s, not slaving away in a sweaty gym and walking around all lumped up.

Warren will do fine, he has the fundamentals, he is in condition, and he has some notoriety.

Good question. Gotta get those 12 sets of lenses ready

I think warren needs to find a manager/ promoter willing to put up the money for lazer eye surgery as his up front signing money etc..
