i blame my father and brother for not being a fighter

[Leakbeak]

dude. it has nothing to do with my skill...the reason i never made it to the am's is because i never BOTHERED to do it...it would be one thing if i was TRYING to box in the am's, but simply wasnt good enough - then you can say that i suck... but thats not the case

the case is that i never even have sum1 to push me in that direction, to fight competetively, thats what this whole topic is about

If you need someone to push you to even compete in the am's then you are in serious trouble and probably need ot stop rueing the missed opportunity. If ability is not an issue like you say, then surely someone would have been willing to take you into the am's by now as 16 to 22 is a long time and 16 is not a bad age to start. Like I said, I started around same time and had fights by 22 without having to actually push myself too much. I started pushing myself after a few bouts and after I learned from my mistakes. If you can't push yourself and get amateur bouts by next season (sept), then maybe you are just a ***** and were never made to fight?

I can't believe this thread, is this guy blaming his dead father for not pushing him in the right direction?

words fail me....
