Do you think you will make it big in boxing?

[Nacho_Analstain]

I don't really think about it, I just know i want it.

Dude, you didn't start too late. You just got old enough to buy smokes for ****s sake!

Fightin ain't for everyone tho. I think your mind would be put to better use doing something else assisting athletes, personally, just by reading your posts.


To the OP. 'Making it' alot of guys define this differently. Do I think I'll ever make it to a PPV card....no. Do I think if I put my mind and focused all my energy into training that I could win the Louisiana State Heavyweight title before age 30?

...I don't THINK I can, I KNOW I can, call me big headed or whatever you want, but I've seen the guys who box for that title and they are, by and large, inexperienced compared to other professionals I've seen in action. I'll start with the state title, if while defending it I get knocked the **** out and learn the hard way that the sport ain't for me, so be it. At least I gave it my best, that's what really will count when I'm 65 years old thinking back. I'll always be able to say I gave it my all, otherwise I would see myself as an extremely conflicted old bastard who is pissed off about what he never tried to accomplish, and I don't wanna be that guy.

thats the advantage of fighting at heavyweight, not much competition

The simple fact is this, knockouts happen more often in the heavyweight division for a reason. More damaging punches are thrown. Sure, lighter guys get mixed up in slugfests. But the combined weight of two featherweights and their leg and body strength, (I.e. say Featherweight Paciauo caught Morales while Morales was lunging in with his own shot) you got less than 7-800 psi right there and it's gonna be the biggest punch of the fight- as opposed to in a Heavyweight bout, you got two guys who weigh 210+, imagine Paciauo at Heavyweight doing the same thing. All the weight goes up, the guy moving forward taking the punch absorbs more damage to the brain, the guy delivering the punch is not only much stronger but heavier, etc.

So, you understand what I'm saying?

Lighter weight guys, may have to worry about alot more punches hitting them...

But when they do hit, 9 times out of 10 it isn't the end of the night for the recipient. Unlike in the HW division, where you see guys getting KO'd by grazing blows and chins barely getting nicked and then guys falling all over the ring.

There's no doubt in my mind that competing on the Heavyweight level involves the maximum amount of risk that Boxing has to offer. But, living life is risk in itself. When I get in my worktruck and goto work, that is risk. So, **** IT!

Perhaps that is why people respect the true Heavyweight champion of the world like they do, it's always been that way.

shut up, there is more risk competing in the lighter categories dumbass, they are in awesome condition and fight their guts out unlike todays heavyweights, why do you think there is more deaths in boxing in the feathewrweight and down divisions???

and there are plenty of one punch KO's in the lower classes, last years Ko of the year was nonito donaire koing vic darchinyan with a single left hook fool (flyweights)

Wow.

You can tell when someone is an ignorant tool, when the first two words of their post is 'shut up'...


...you aren't even worth arguing with...I'm going to take the politicians way, "Argue with an idiot in public, and the public deems you an idiot as well"

I really enjoy the competitiveness and self-dependence that boxing has to offer. It makes me very focused throughout the day, and it gives me something to channel my anger and piss-poor attitude into.

I've always wanted to train kids when I get older, especially in boxing. But before I can do that, I need to get to a decent level myself. That's where the training comes in

getting blows to your head for 12 rounds is much more dangerous then getting knockt out by one shot.

And btw the flyweight champion of the world still gets more respect then the fatboy who is the louisiana heavyweight champion
