Am I to old to start boxing?

Really,you could do whatever you want. Plenty of amateurs your age and older. If you feelin it like that then go head and take it a far as you can...

 

You only get one shot at life go for it. My mates think the same about me theyve got this sterio typical boxer image that i dont fit lol but i dont care. I read marciano didnt start till 25 , mind you i read somewhere else he started a bit earlier. Anyway dont matter its how you feel you could be a natural, generally years of training are needed but there are exceptions. GO FOR IT!:good

 

definatly not, i dont believe you can be too old for boxing, i plan on being involved in boxing even after 40 (trainer etc.)

 

did you hit the bag before you were trained? If so, you could have formed some bad habits by now.

 

Tito, I'm 26 and I started some months ago. If you have been active throughout your life and have done sports it shouldn't be a problem. It could be problem for people who have never done sports during their life, but this concerns not only boxing, but all sports. However, I don't consider getting into the ring some day for something different than sparring, but for me it isn't based on my age, but on my personal decision.

 

I herd hassim rahman started mad late, like 18 i think it was and he eventualy became champion on 2 occasions.

 

You can never to old to start boxing. Alot of people do it as a hobby just like any other sport.

 

I am 24, will be 25 in February. I actually just bought my first piece of boxing equipment a few days ago. As I told tito time already I am 2 hours away from a gym, but by Christmas I hope to have a heavybag stand and speed bag in my spare room. I also plan on starting to run. I've often heard that there is a progression people find themselves doing as they start off with boxing. First they start training, and then they get into some shape. They said they would never spare, but then the feeling gets to strong and then they do. After sparring and maybe having someone tell them they look decent they begin to look at amateur stuff. From then they may consider pro. In this day and age if you take boxing seriously, you can fight until you are close to 40, depending on your style, weight class, etc. I don't know if I would ever fight a real fight, but I guess technically I would be in the first stage of my little scenario. Good luck to you either way.

 

Hell no, keep at it.
