Chales,
It is not too late but you would have to really get going and try to get as many amateur fights as possible. It is hard to say how good you could be without seeing you in action but I would definately suggest getting as much experience as possible.
good luck,

My trainer/boss of 24 years is in the Golden Gloves Hall of Fame and trained the heavyweight champion of the world.

Experience
I have been in the sport of boxing since 1984. I started as a boxer and advanced quickly. I was lucky enough to have some of the best sparring in the country with 3 top ten pros in my very gym. I am fortunate enough to live near one of the better boxing programs in the country. We have cultivated our facility into the largest Amateur Boxing Gym in the country. In the mid 90's I became a trainer for Golden Gloves. I train amateur and pro fighters. I have worked in many corners at USA and Golden Glove tournaments. I have worked corners in pro bouts on HBO and ESPN cards. My friend, boss and coach is the former President of Golden Gloves and I trained under his tutelage.
