I'm 37 years old, do you think I;m to old for pursuing a world title in boxing?

Question

I'm a former world champ that took a year and half hiatus

Answer 1

Try a tune up or confidence fight and see if you still have it.

Answer 2

likely so, maybe if you had a substantial amateur background.

Though Antonio Davis started from scratch at age 28, and managed to get 2 title shots.

The odds are very much against you though.

Answer 3

What's your name? I'll have a look at your record and let you know if in my opinion it is worth you continuing.

Answer 4

It depends on the caliber of opposition in your division and the shape you're in at the moment.  The thing is, you must get yourself in shape the soonest possible time, train hard and get 3 to 4 tune-up fights within a year to get your rhythm back.  Then, assess your performance and see if you can really be competitive against the top contenders and eventually, the champ.

Answer 5

No I think it would be great if you done it

But........ be careful

Answer 6

Really what divison champ were you? if your just starting out then yes too young

Answer 7

yes yes you are

Answer 8

yes sir

Answer 9

Nope, it's never late (especially for you since you have been there!)

after first few tune up fights you will see for yourself, if you really have a chance (I mean, if you win easily all of em!)

just work on your stamina, and be carefull!!

best of luck!!!

Answer 10

yes

Answer 11

by a couple years

Answer 12

HELLL YEAAAAA

Answer 13

It depends. You can be Kimbo (look on www.youtube.com and search kimbo fights - he's pretty old) and still work your way up to a world title in boxing (or in his case, MMA). But however, the likelihood of it is very slim - it's harsh reality, but if you want to defy the odds and prove everyone wrong, no one is stopping you! God gave you potential and put you on this earth, so do as you please - but whatever you do, work hard!

Answer 14

Yes go for your dreams... Also, some people can still play a sport even though there old like brett favre in the greenbay packers you just have to be fit and good in boxing thats all that needed. people are just being rude saying your old dont listen to them, do what you think is right. But be careful if you do...

Answer 15

You're just starting out? Yes.

Answer 16

maybe and maybe not but most importantly I don't believe you ever had any title, thanks for trolling

Answer 17

Not at all. I just hope you at least have started Boxing already. It is hard to get a title shot as it is. What weight class are you? It appears to be harder to win at the lighter weights where it is not as difficult if you are above 175 pounds. I would hate to go against feathers, welters, and middleweights. Those are the most skilled divisions. Good luck and follow your dream. I am 36 years and I am pulling for you. There aint' no shame in being in shape and willing to chase a title at 37.

Answer 18

you can do it man fight on!! be the next rocky!!
