    Drop his ******ed ass off at the next gym and then let him train there. Thats it. Theres no "too late". If he's trying to become the next Mike Tyson then yeah, it's probably a little late for him to become a world champion. But tell him that even if he had started training at 1 years old the chance of him becoming a world champion would have been zero as well.

        Well, I just started at 34... I do it for fun and fitness, and I'm having a blast. After just 2 months I can sense huge, and I mean HUGE improvement in cardio etc.

              To late for what? To be world champion, yes.
              To get fit and have amateur fights? no
