Is 22 years old to old to start trying to become a pro boxer? I feel like most of the competition has been doing amateur for over 4-5 years, can this be made up quickly?

i know its not boxing.. But look at some MMA fighters.. Bas rutten said he started at 28.. Everyones hero Lesnar started when? 30?... There are fighters who have trained since 12 losing to guys who started at 25..
definitely not too young to start boxing. may not be world class or anything but few really are. the mma comparison doesn't really work as it's already been shown mma doesn't really require a fighter to be great at everything.
Too old? Just close your eyes and repeat after me, "Randy Couture, Randy Couture, Randy Couture." "I know I can, I know I can, I know I can." :icon_lol:
If it's any consolation, I'm 33 and training pretty hard. I'm hoping for an amateur match sometime in the next year or so. It will be my first. I *wish* I had started younger, but am happy just the same to be doing it now. I say go for it, and you'll do great.
