Boxers who started late

Nigel Benn could have started when he was 25. He was that naturally talented!

It all depends on the individual and basically the two factors are natural talent and hard work

Marciano started in his 20's but then he just trained harder than everyone else

boxed profesionally for 3 years. he was an AM since he was like 12 or 13 or something like that.

yea see i thought they said started boxing all together, but as you said, i think your right that would make sense.

he talked about how his dad would make him get up real early and run as a kid, most likely to train.
