Need a serious answer.

Is it possible to still compete at a high level, even top level if you have COPD?

Amateur and Pro rounds?

Why not go find out for yourself rather than have some random guy on the internet tell you? Everyone is different. Some people have good stamina, some have bad. Go to a gym and start training. See how it goes.

Think it's a respiratory problem , it affects your breathing ability. It's usually caused from chronic smoking

Ok, thanks. To the thread starters question. I would recommend that you take up marathon running and very high mountain climbing. You won't need to get much experience for you to figure out that this respiratory problem that you have makes it nearly impossible. But atleast you'd have learned it with out getting your ass kicked multiple times......Rockin'

You guys are awesome, thanks for advice. Yeah marathon running sounds bad. i'm a natural 230+. Lowest i've gotten was 205 and i was at 8% bodyfat with muscle loss. Natural weight is around 230. Usually I hear running is bad for big guys like me, knee's will be gone before I can even enjoy life lol.

Any sound tips on smart running? and rock climbing? that's more situational. Never considered it and if I did wouldn't I need to purchase the proper gear and actually find a good location for such a thing? Looking at cost etc. I'm around College boy levels of wealth lol

At the beach or on some sand somewhere might be a better option. Hills would be great if you can find em.

Bike riding might not be a bad idea either although I don't believe its as effective obviously.

And I can't swim for sh^t so idk this for a fact, but I've heard swimming is great for stamina & I believe Wladimir Klitschko did a lot of that during the 2nd & most successful part of his career.

Swimming is great, it works your entire body.

i doubt it to be honest, even the fittest of people struggle with boxing let alone if you have COPD. Oxygen saturation levels in the blood are generally 88-92 percent compared to 94+ in those without COPD which makes a big difference.
