31yo. Is it too late for me to box at elite level from the ground up?Serious replies

[daggum]

i met tyson and he was no more than 5'5 and a half. go for it!

[KillaMane26]

He can become a pro...Just and fight locally....But that would be years from now. Forget about that word elite...U have to think about this... If u was boxing since u were 7 years old..Wudnt u feel disrespected thinking a guy started boxing at 30s gonna challenge u?

The fact that u asking.... automatically disqualified u lol

You’re likely having a midlife crisis. I haven’t boxed in ten years and last year I was considering starting again and going pro.

That being said, join a boxing gym. Even if you can’t go pro at a high level doesn’t mean you can’t compete in this wonderful sport.

Get in the gym for 6 months or so and you’ll probably be able to beat the hell out of Larry...that’s about the best you can hope for.

Thanks again. I will try to upload a couple of pics. I have a question though. Wasn't Mike Tyson only 5'9? How come he weighed around 220 despite him only being 4 inches taller than me?

Shouldn't his weight be much lower for his height?

That's why I asked for a picture.

Mike Tyson is 5'11" and a genetic freak who had one of the greatest Boxing minds of all time training him. He also started as a child and not at 31. Strong arguments can be made he was the greatest of all time.

Imagine a 5'7" 31 year-old accountant wanting to play in the NBA and citing Spud Webb?

Did you measure your reach?

Do you have an elite promoter and prime opponents set up to fight ?
