The amatuer ranks is from where the pro's come from.

You got a mind deal going?
If your SERIOUS, and its not just some mind deal you got going. Go take up boxing in a gym some where and enroll in the Golden Gloves or something like that and to train and to enter some tourament fights.
Then your going to quickly find out if you got what he takes.
If you find that you got what it takes. You need to spend at least 4-5 years in the amatuer ranks before even thinking about a professional career.
For there is much to know and learn, and that takes some years.
The weight division you want to be in is at what weight in more natural for you.
A well-conditioned fighter's body should look like a rasin not a grape.
A boxer's body should be all muscle and bone.
Keep that in mind as your exercise and train.
You want to have a functional body, your body is a tool.
Its the spirit and power of the mind that drives the fighter's body.
When you get out there and get yourself in shape it'll build your confidence.
Physical training strenghtens and toughens up the body, and that will also have an affect on your state of mind, you come to be of a different and better frame of mind.
