Successsful fighters who took up boxing at a late age

Rubio was in a pretty foul mood yesterday, so I didn't want to push it.

 

Yeah, he talked about winning tournaments when he was in middle school and taking his trophies to school later on.

He said he became bored with boxing and preferred robbing people instead.

I think his record was 95-4.

 

I mentioned Clay-Bey in this post:

 

of course it is,

 

Valuez started boxing late if Im not mistaken

 

Mundine only had 4 amatuer fights :bears:

 

DaVarryl Williamson

 

yes, but his father was a former contender, odds are that he was taught to box at an early age

 

Is that the mexican giant?

 

Is that the hairy mexican giant?

 

This is true, he was brought up in a gym. But turning pro after only four amatuer fights at the age of 26 is pretty impressive.

 

Mundine was a world-class athlete before he started boxing. Most fighters have to spend years getting in shape.

 

Rocky Marciano boxed in the Army, but lost to Coley Wallace in the US Nationals.
James "Bonecrusher" Smith comes to mind as far as a late starter goes.

 

Four men beat Rocky Marciano.
