    I wanted to start taking boxing since last year for the first time, I was out of shape Weighted 247 Pounds 6Feet. Before I wanted to join a gym I wanted to get in good shape I'm now down to 170 Pounds running 6 days a week doing sit ups and Push ups ect.

    Now I Plan on joining a Gym this nov Thinking of joining tony Peps gym in New west Minster.
    My question is can I become a Decent boxer starting from the age of 19 years old?
    seeing how alot of the good boxers out there started from a very young age..

    Sure you can. There are 15 years of amateur boxing ahead of you if you want. Have fun.

    I've just started boxing as well, and I'm 19. So if it makes you feel any better, we're in the same boat.

    First of all congratulations on getting your weight down, thatmust have taken lots of dedication. you can still have a good career starting at 19, either you'll find out you have what it takes to break away from the ordinary or not. At least you've slready shown dedication which will help you.

    Hey, look at Sergio Martinez... Started at 20 or something and right now is one of the best boxers out there. And with the determination you have, it should not be impossible. Everything is doable.
