Am I good enough to start boxing?

Question

I am 18 years old 6"0 160lbs. I am in good health mentally and physically. I own at volleyball cuz I am faster than most people.

I enjoy playing foot ball and can take down big people well.

I have a big upper body with smaller feet. I have a really mean right hook when I punch into the air the breeze is loud enough to hear very well and there is alot of breeze to it. I am also good at taking punches and feeling nothing. Once I pissed of this black dude and he punched me as hard as he could in the face and it just made a little pop in my jaw and did literally nothing else.

Answer 1

of course no matter what your size your always ready.  Never underestimate yourself.  If you think you can do something, go for it!!

Answer 2

yeah i started a couple years ago and learned fast, but you won't be in as good shape as you think, boxing is the most exhausting sport period. Also if you are naturally 160 and 6'0, you could easily drop some weight and fight at 147 or 156 and have a reach advantage. My suggestion is find a gym and spar after a couple weeks, but don't be discouraged if you get messed up, you will get better with every round you fight.

Answer 3

the only way to find out is to go do it. join a boxing gym, train, and get into a few matches.

Answer 4
