Answer 2

Now is the perfect time to start! You're old enough now to have the mind needed to be a boxer and still young enough to learn the basics and build a good base before turning 18. Look around for a good gym (SO IMPORTANT) in your area and get started. You've got to be commited though, boxers are among the hardest working athletes in the world. We are a rare breed. Good luck man, work hard!

Answer 3

No, it is not too late to start now. Actually you're at an age where you can learn the basics and compete when you're older and know more, say 16 or 17. If you are skinny, you are well suited to being an Outside Fighter, like Ali, who use their speed, footwork, and long range straight punches (the Jab and the Cross) to wear an opinion down. If you have hard punches, you might even knock out someone fighting from the outside. Besides, you can compete in Golden Gloves, any boxer can, whether novice or experienced amateur, up until you are 35. So there is great potential for you if you start now, I started when I was 18.

Answer 4

No it's not too late to start. Actually you are at the right age where your body is more developed.

Answer 5

there is a 125 weight class in boxing. there are a lot of great boxers at that weight class. in fact at that weight class it is much more dificult to be great because of the athletism needed for boxers to stay at that weight. whether you will be great depends on you you will get out o it what you put into it
