Could you have made it as a pro boxer?

[KeepItObjective]

I've got power, decent speed but I'm not too keen on getting punched in the face, maybe if I grew up in poverty.

Try a kidney shot!

[brickcityboxing]

Define "made it." Are we talking about someone that matters, champion or top-ten? Then my answer is no. Even being a successful journeyman, say 25-10 is doubtful. lol If you've ever had any experience fighting, a 25-10 professional record is quite worthy of respect.

^^^ Same... I'm pretty sure I could've won a few not sure if would've had a +.500 record though.. Yo Cu****uynyc I'm gonna be in Miami this weekend I'm gonna try and catch the fight at the miccosukee casino in Miami ... I know you're up north but gotta throw the invite out there

[FeFist]

No, I lack the discipline.

A lot of people may have the skills...but it's a different story to take a shot!

Agreed!

Probably not, but it's a sport in which I wish I had partaken growing up.

I'm pretty sure 99% of posters on here never even had an Amateur bout, and less than that had any sparring sessions.

You wouldn't call a pro boxer 'coward', 'ducker' or any of the other ****** names if they had.

I had a few amateur fights & I can tell you it takes a special breed to fight properly in the ring.

A pro with a 10-99 record would be the crap out of 99% of the posters on this site.

And, yes, I was crap. I was fast but ******. I'm a much better fighter in my 40's than I was in my teens & have outboxed a few 20 something colleagues in fun bouts.

Its all about the jab.

As TS stated - with a right training, could you become pro boxer?. so the answer would be easy - any one can. you don't born to become champion - you train for it. of course unless you born with some defects and illness, that prevent you from training

Agreed to every point. Another word I refuse to use is "bum."
