  1. anything is possible..


  2. no

  3. Yes, you can. Be ready to drop any excess pounds just through sheer training and diet regimens. From what I understand through my family and their boxing connections, boxing is able to bring the best out of you, no matter what your age. It will give back to you as you give to it.  

  4. impossible is nothing

  5. To old to make it anywhere. You would be a really short heavyweight which is not good, and since your taking it up at 30 years old your going to be fighting guys younger then you that have 10 years more experience then you do.

    Boxing is a science that takes years and years and unmatched dedication and hard training for a shot at making any real money.

    But hey you could do it for the fun of it and stay in really good shape.

  6. sure why not make your brain mush.....I work in medical I dealt with a famous boxer with Parkinson's and Alzheimer's....as you know from ali it happens..the older you are the harder your body takes hits. When boxers die younger then normal...and an autopsy is performed....it is known for brain matter to be able to ooze through a pin hole pierced though the skull......

  7. Depends on your goals. U could train for golden gloves,learn how to box,get in great shape. Even win a few fights:however,if UR talking about World Champion you R grasping at straws. It's like U picking up the guitar now and thinking U will ever be better than CARLOS SANTANA,tho U could learn to play a few of his songs  but not like him and even be 15 when U started!

  8. well at 5 11 you are a little short.\but there are people lke maywether so at 30 you should be fine, join a gym and a boxing club, see if you like it first then get into a boxing school, maybe sulleys gym in toronto or look one up in the phone book near you

    you should be fine

    good luck


  9. Of course you can you are still young.

  10. Sorry pal...

    Unless you want to be a punching bag

  11. I hate to be blunt, but the only place you are going to make it to is the hospital.

    You may be strong, but it takes knowing you way around the ring also.  That takes time and fights.  Something you do not have.  

  12. if you practice getting the ---- beat out of you a lot.

  13. nope too old sure u are young now but to make it to a decent level its gonna take u like 5 years

  14. yes but you are in for a lot of hard work and will probably not make it professionally but then a gain who knows depends on you i guess
