Sergio ''Maravilla'' Martinez was a soccer player before becoming a boxer, the first time he ever set foot into a boxing gym he was aged 21. I think I heard that Archie Moore was 50 when he won a title.

George Foreman quit at 48.

There isn't a range of age for you to be a successful boxer.

Stick with football, but it wouldn't hurt learning how to fight. Do what I do, I play basketball competitively, but I do boxing too because it keeps me fit. U might not like boxing though as some people don't like getting hit. Boxing will make a man out of a boy but football will expose you to more people and help you make friends. Do both but if u can't, stick with what you're good at

Hey I think you should be a boxer. It's never 2 let 2 do another that you think is successful and all of that kind of stuff ;-) . Just tell your parents I would want to work at it.

It depends on what u like and yeah u can become successful just try to do nice combinations with left and right hooks left and right uppercuts

Hi, I'm 16 years old and I want to start boxing. I quit football to join this sport. By the way I'm really good at football. I've always liked boxing since I was a kid but never really got into it. I told my father about this and he said its too late to become successful in boxing, I told my mother she told me the same thing. Is it too late to become successful? I've also been told I have really quick hands and hard hits. Should I stick to what I'm good at or should I do boxing, and do what I love? Also I am a really hard and determined worker.
