[QUOTE="psychic duck, post: 556891, member: 48703"] To be fair, heavyweight boxing is very thin at the moment. Manuel Charr (who was rubbish) got a World ***le shot recently. It wouldn't surprise me if somebody could take up the sport and progress quite far with training and practice within just 2 or 3 years. In the UK, there is a fighter called Martin Rogan who only started Boxing past the age of 30 but got up to Commonwealth ***le level and beat former British champions (Matt Skelton), European champions who have had World ***le matches (Audley Harrison, Albert Sosnowski). Okay, not great opposition, but considering the age he started boxing he went quite far. Bernard Hopkins, Sergio Martinez and Rocky Marciano all also started quite late as adults in their 20's so it wouldn't surprise me if he could go far after a few years practice. [/QUOTE]
