    i've heard some people say 18 or 19, others 21 and some as high as 25.

    what do you think?

    I think people get a feel for when they have learned all they can at amateur, so I suppose it depends on what age you start at and how many fights you can get.

    After you have given your best at the amateurs, fought at important events.

    Sometimes it's best to just not turn pro. Depends on the person.

    Depends where you are and the quality of amateur competition you've had.. I'd suggest not turning pro til 22-23, your body is almost set in it's prime, you should have had a good level of time to learn your trade and you'll be stepping in prepared.
