    Hi all,

    I have been boxing for about a half year now and i am 18 years old.

    After my summer holiday i have planned to train really, really hard.

    But is it too late for me to become a very skilled boxer? what do you think?

    Too late, at 18 years old. I should slap you really :twisted:

    Short version: no.
    Long version: **** no.

    Box and see where it gets you. You're still a teenager, for ****s sake.

    Carl froch didnt start boxing until he was 20 I think.

    Despite not having world class skills he has pulled it off through power stamina and other crazy ass attributes:smoke

    okay im glad to hear

    when i was younger i played a lot of tennis, and if you have intentions of being a great tennis player it's waay too late to start at age 18...

    But thanks for the answers so far

    I started doing it properly at 30. Don't worry about how old you are, just find a gym and train and see where you go with it

    Here's the recipe for you:

    1. Listen to your coach.
    2. Work hard.
    3. Eat well.
    4. Get enough sleep.
    5. Oh yea, and get some punani so you don't drive us mad with crazy posts.

    Good luck!
