Sexy Sergio did and look at him now. I'm bigger than Sergio was, I'm stronger, and I'm faster.

I don't think Nate Campbell started boxing until he was nearly 30, similarly Glen Johnson started relatively late.

You should probably go learn how to box first. Knocking someone out in a 3 round backyard match ain't ****...
Also, as far as your "wrestling and MMA is for fat slobs" comment goes, Wrestling is one of the physically hardest and toughest sports a guy could compete in. On top of that, Wrestlers are among some of the most fit athletes out there, it'd be wise for you to know what you're talking about before running your mouth. Don't mix up dumbass meatheads with legitimate MMA fighters. If you want to use Bernard Hopkins as a way to try and rip on MMA, I'd suggest you go watch watch this.

Anyways, again, if you wanna Box competitively, go learn how to first. Other than that, you're just going to be a punching bag for guys.Last edited by Left2theliver; 12-18-2012, 04:03 AM.

I don't believe this is real...But in the rare case that it is...
You play other sports. You don't play boxing. You wanna do it for money? that's fine, good luck...but even that is going to take some sacrifice. It's not just looking good, fight and you're done. Just know, every fight will take something out of you. Whether it's 25% or 5% depends on your skill.
ps I know you think you're cool because you're some Light heavyweight who can make 154. That might be fine and all,but it may not completely work in your favor like you think it will.
