Floyd Patterson took it up at 14 and won a Gold Medal 3 years later at 17... and then turned Pro. Earnie Shavers was a big man and all muscle who took it up at 22 and turned Pro. at 24. I'm a 5'9" stocky, but flabby and not so fit 21yearold with no hope... I'm just being real with myself!!!

You are just young enough to start. Marciano got a very late start, so did Holmes. Look how great they are!!! All you need to do go to a local boxing gym, work out every day or as many days as you can, do road work, sit ups, and swiming is very good for you too. Ride your bike, basicaly get active along with your work out. If you are 5'9 and want to be a heavy weight, you better hit super super hard, or be the fastest boxer ever... But if you can livewith being a welter to light heavy, then go for it.
