Is 18 years old

true but starting at age 30 your not looking at an amatuer career. Probably straight into the pro game.

without amatuer experience, your chances of winning a world title are very slim.

I know, but if your good enough, age doesn't matter. It really is just a number.

Look at Bernard Hopkins, so-called lb4lb #1 at 40 years old.

Chris Eubank only started sparring a couple of months before he turned 17 but turned pro a couple of months after turning 19, and going into 1995 he had the longest unbeaten record in boxing, and was the highest paid boxer in the world.

Personally yes 18 is too late.If you have never ever stepped into a boxing gym then its too late.You cant just start picking things up at 18 and expect to have a good career.Id say its too late yes.

Guys dont sit here and say a guy that has never stepped foot in a gym can just become a good pro at 18 years old...think about it hes gonna have lenghty amateur experience if hes smart AND by that time he'll be what 22-23 its just too late in my opinion.

Oh wow that hurts....i mean 18 years old is still considered a kid most of the time.i get called kid more times a day then my real name.

Oh and by the way i thought Hasim Rahman didnt start till he was 22? thats surely later then me?

[RAESAAD]

Too late to start boxing seriously with hopes of having a good future in the sport possibly? Why or why not thanks guys.

Not if you are a natural athlete and have been in a few fights before in your life time.......**** it is good time I think ebcause you are more mature and should be if this is what you want to do be willing to focus and work hard at it......
