Question
i am 18 years old an i was wondering if its not to late to start boxing is thier any chance i can make it to the top i was born to have arsome physical power and i belive i can be the best.

Answer
If you were a lightr weight, I would say 18 is a bit too old - however, I would definitely give it a try.  The only way you'll know if you're the best is to find a gym and a trainer, learn the basics, and compete.  Please email me at mel@amateurboxing.com, tell me the city and state you liv in, and I'll send you a contact.
