at age 32 after 11 amateur fight's time to turn pro?

[Joey Giardello]

My friend who boxe's out of the same gym as me is turning pro after 11 fights and at age 32, he says he still has time and age is only a number as fighters like archie moore and hopkins have proved. I dont know what to think good idea or bad? he has won 9 of the 11 fights and is a lightheavyweight

[T.Horton]

i think he better keep his fights to local venues and keep his full-time job. 11 amateur fights at 32 is not a lot at all.

Tell him to live his dream but not to set his goals to high.

[Bullrush]

a lot ot amateurs turn pro without having much experience really so why not. doesnt matter if you turn pro after 10 fights when youre 25 or 30 really. hell get better the more he trains, let him do his thing. he doesnt have to fight pacquiao in his first fight. hell fight some other pro with little experience and then take the next step. age is just a number. im sure at 32 hes got way more boxing left than some of the 20-25 years olds out there that have done this since they were kids

my friend is the type of person who sets his goals high, he will be reaching to make it to the top

If he's really your friend then support him. It may not be an ideal situation but at least he's trying.

Not necessarily.

He could get matched up as cannon fodder for a young prospect. That's what's most likely to happen unless he has a good manager and promoter that are on his side.

[BOLLOCKS]

I'd spark him out.

[NECK SNAPPER]

hey its a great that he he wants to take it to the next level. at 32 he knows
what he wants and he is willing to try to go get it im a fan already.

If you believe in yourself.. You can do a lot of things.
