No it isnt! Obviously other people your age will be better then you if they started at a young age. Thats not whats important whats important is how good you are at your peak! e.g guy trains from age of 5 and peaks at around 24-26 (an example) but you might reach your peak at 30-32. Look at martinez he's older then most guys started at 20 i think he's at his peak now and his the rightfull middleweight champion. No offence but if anything you should be more worried about the issue's you have with osteoarthritis and the knee surgieries, not letting you achieve not your age. (IN NO WAY AM I SAYING DO NOT TRY)
I know, I HATE my knees, it's not fair :-( Hopefully, they hold up, as I don't have to use them AS MUCH in football (I know I have to sue them, but it's less risk than football IMO).
Quality video mate, You seem like a good boxer and a really sound guy. Like everyone is saying you have good defense and good in-fighting. The white James Toney indeed And thats a mean left hook you've got! I can tell you've worked hard to get where you're at, keep it up and all the best for 2012 :good
Is it heck- go for it. If you've got a bit of natural talent and are prepared to work hard the only person that can stop you is yourself.
Thanks all- no title yet- just in the ams..... This year I win my first pro title. I intend to box till i'm 42ish.
few years more and there will be topics like "prime james toney vs prime jazzy jeff" nice boxing man!
I remember seeing you in Prizefighter :thumbsup Awesome video, really nice headmovement on the inside :good
Another one dudes some am stuff on here too and early pro [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lg6XlKd6wiU&feature=youtube_gdata_player[/ame]
I can remember a while back when you made a thread asking for pictures of you boxing because you didn't have many. Certainly got a lot of memories since then eh, Sky TV appearance and all :good
Since you've been boxing on a high level for a while, have you noticed any signs of brain damage or any other form of damage you didn't had before you started boxing? like my teacher can't even crack open an egg anymore
