Yes. You must train with fire intensity and regularity. How serious are you about doing this? If you just want to mess around and learn basics that is fine. If you want to compete then you have much work to do. It is not easy being a boxer it takes hard work and discipline. You must be in the right state of mind mentally. You must eat properly and be concerned with nutrition. The training day in and day out is what most cannot endure. You must be in bed when everyone else is partying and have a good time. You must be out running when everyone else is sleeping. You must train 4-5 days a week. This consists of running jumping rope bag and target mitt punching. The sparring will be the acid test. If you cannot get by this and do not like getting hit especially in the head you should quit now. The fight is the easy part it is all the training and preparation that will get you to were you are going. You should have some amateur fights maybe about 20-25 to test the waters. You may not even like it. An amateur fight is the closest thing to a pro fight. The jab is the key punch and everything else follows with its success. The defense is another element that should be learned and mastered. I trained 2 golden gloves champs with a partner in the late 1980s early 1990s. I wish you well and hope you make the right decision for yourself. You should also get involved with a trainer and coach who is knowledgeable who you like and can communicate with.

If youve had a amateur career then yes 19 is fine for turning pro but otherwise if your beginning from scratch then u will probably be around 23 when turning pro possibly? Because you'll send about 1 year mastering the basic moves, then about 3 years in your amateur career, so yeah it isnt too late,

just know this, the only undefeated heavyweight in history ''Rocky Marciano'' was 25 went he turned professional and he went on to be undefeated in 49 fights aswell as winning the heavyweight championship belt.

some have starting boxing at an older age and become world champions. It is not too late, the thing about boxing is you only fight guys near your weight so you do not have to be big to box.

You will never know if you have the talent to become a good boxer unless you try so go and find out.

You're never too old to try, and you'll regret it if you don't.

You have to give it your best effort regarding:

1. a boxer's training routine, as well as,

2. a boxer's diet.

Your shot is very good.............locate a gym boxinggyms.com and get started, training, learning, competing in tournaments, then Gold Gloves, etc. Good luck.

Yes u can start. The more u spar the faster u will get better. Learn the jab. It will look after u in the ring.

yeah why not

I've always been pretty athletic, but I'm not the biggest guy. About 5'8 140, I know I will need to add muscle and weight for sure. Lately I've really been intrigued with boxing and want to try and train to get pretty good. Basically just wondering if it's worth a shot at 19 and what my chances are of becoming a decent boxer?
