what do you see yourself doing with this sport as a boxer?

[Verstyle]

i do not believe i am of world class talent right now. but i do believe in the future i will be. even then i know i'd have a lot of detractors. how many champs have been called bums? and you are being modest to the point that it's ridiculous. you probably make more than that at your current job lol. but you are right to a point. if you do make that much, you are probably in the top 5 rankings, just not champ.

Im very cautious on my thinkings on boxing and what I could possibly make.I do want a Lamborghini though. I think almost anybody that markets themselves well and have positive ppl around them can make it. Just look at the positive things Don King has done for nobodies and has beens.He gave them more chances to win a title.Andrew Golata and Ricardo Mayorga are 2 I can name. Hell look at Gatti? A millionaire off of getting his ass beat.Also a World title holder.

well, I hope you make good bread of it. About a year back when I was 19 and came back home from RI I was thinking about starting boxing at Gleason's. It would have been extremely hard to do both especially since I wanted to pursue it seriously. Problem there was I was attending and still going to college full time and doubted my pops would support it. You know how that goes . But yea I came to accept the fact that it wasn't gona happen. I was kinda pissed off about it but I'm over it now.

I wanna do both.If I make some money off of boxing I'm going back to college. So I'll be doing both.

i've been training everyday in a gym that has produced world kickboxing champs and is run by a former world kickboxing champ for the past month.

you know how i know i'm going to make it? [and this is coming from me on a "rest" day when i feel like **** about my motivation even tho i know my body needs the rest] 1. I'm smart and I know what it takes and what my advantages are. I'll be fighting at 175 at 6'5". I spend tons of time on in-ring shadow boxing, jump rope, speed bag. The things people neglect. 2. I can see it in my coaches'/other people there eyes. They see a prospect. [to quote Frazier from Smokin' Joe] I've been there a month and I've already sparred more times than people that have been there 2, 3, 6+ months! You aren't even supposed to be ABLE to spar until you've had a month there! 3. I don't care what it takes, I'll do it. I've been wearing a velcro strap between my legs the past 2 weeks working on my stance. That isn't saying a godly lot but still, how many people have you seen actually keep at that? 4. I can see a huge improvement. My stance is rounding out, my hands are getting quicker, each time I spar I get more in-tune with it, my left is getting stronger even which leads me to.. 5. My left hand is a ****in' bomb. I tore open a heavy bag with it the other day. I'm sure that that isn't even a big deal.. But, hell, it made me want to train MORE.

I know I'm going to make it. A few years from now Jordan Mathewson will be a known name on here. Believe it, or not, it don't matter to me.

i'll bring photographical evidence tomorrow. tore open at the top, like i said not that big of a deal, but still.

i wanna fight a lot of am fights, win a lot of am fights, and eventually start looking towards the bigger tournys in new york/north east.

i agree that i think a lot of people forget that boxing is a professional sport, like any other. titlists and champions are world class athletes. but it's ****ed up to to shoot somebody down and tell them straight up, "no you can't do that." there's always exceptions in every sport, including boxing.

[kamicazze]

really i wanna be a welsh aba champ, and aba champ and compete in the lympics or commonwealths! go pro, and win welsh, celtic, british commonwealth, eu tiles and all the alphabets such as wbu, iba ibc,ibo .....

[Anal Squabbles]

Where do i see myself in a few years?!

I see myself at the top of the Heavyweight game man.

All i gotta do is keep myself outta trouble...but you know in the hood man, its difficult.

I'll just be walking up the street and some fools will be like "Yo! Squabbles.. you a mess man!" so i'll be like... building some rage up... suddenly, before i know... i'm throwing ****ing elbows and ni99as be hitting the dirt. No what i'm saying?

I got calls from some top Heavyweights man, wanting me to spar with em. I mean, after the smack i layed upon Brunson, people are seeing me as a natural contender man.

My hand speed is phenominal i've been told and i hit like a truck man. They call me the freight train man...cos being hit by me is like being hit by the damn train. Speed AND power?! Thats right man , thats me.

laters homes.. PM me if you wanna talk about the future of boxing further.

Peace out.

honestly. right now. all i'm focused on is winning my first ammy fight. i know that if i keep my drive i'll be a champion. and if not, this is still what i want to do with my life. i know it in my heart. i know it in my soul. more than anything else i've ever thought or felt in my entire life. that's real.
