    Just wanted to now if any other guys here is also planning on turning pro soon as well as to know what they thing of amature contests. Example: a) just to get experience and your record doesnt matter as long as you learn b) doing good as an amature is a sign you should turn pro etc

    Amateur boxing is all about learning and experience, not winning every fight.

    And being good at amateur level doesn't necessarily mean you should turn pro.

    Agree 100% percent with the 1st part but having a guy whos won 1 lost 100 fights in the amature ranks means IMO he shouldnt be thining of turning pro

    Most people do have that dream i guess. Not sure if the op meant turn pro and use it as primary source of income or as a hobby.

    Not necessarily, marciano had an awful amateur record and some pros never even had an amateur career

    around right there, it's easy to have a winning record but that is still awful... atleast for someone who finished his pro career undefeated

    I know of a guy whos had like 70 am fights and won only 10 but all by KO, but the thing is this guy is a quality operator and he can bang.

    Im sure if he did turn pro he woulda been very sucessful
