I respect Amateur Boxers just as much as the Pros. If someone can fight over 200 Amateur fights, go Pro & Hold it down they're already a Legend in my Book.
Ye I think it’s better to start as a amateur before you become a pro so you at least get experience in the ring before you start throwing yourself into pro matches then not having any experience in the ring and not knowing what to expect.
Rocky Marciano had 12 amateur fights with a record of 8 wins 4 losses before turning pro and going 49- 0 43 ko's. One of the best heavyweights ever in the history of boxing. Pretty much the greatest since he never lost.
I come from a competitive grappling background I was wondering if I should jump into pros or go amateur ? Been training almost 6 months . But I definitely know the two sports are completely different
Yeah brother those are apples and oranges in comparison I would definitely get some boxing training for a little while and start sparring to get aquatinted before you do any competition
Speaking from someone with grappling experience myself you 100% need amateur experience unless you're looking to go into mixed martial arts. It's hard breaking certain habits like leaning forward with your head exposed like you would typically when looking to shoot for a leg or clinch. You'll most likely have the wind but the timing and movements is just too different
@@coachv3436 imagine this, youv got 2 fighters. they both can fly, as strong as superman, can fight like jackie chan and jet li, and they have auras that glow gold! thats dragonballz 😂
If I remember correctly my boy kid chocolate turned professional after less than 20 fights and a few others have had decent careers if you’re very talented yes I will try to fast track it as long as you’re learning from good people
@@coachv3436 you mind speaking more on the fast track thing Coach? I started boxing at 25 turned 26 this year July and my first amateur fight is Nov 5th.

Yeah that’s more than making it clear you belong, definitely a rare breed that can do that!!

Exactly 🎯
Salvador Sanchez only had 3 amateur bouts before turning pro, he was having a wonderfull career untill he passed
Definitely a legend 💯💯
jcc sr. only had 14 amateur fights ..in mexico you are allowed to turn pro at 16...

I would say win a GG tournament and/or national level tournament, work your way up the open class rankings, and then consider going pro.
Definitely a great foundation
Antonio Margarito apparently had 21 amateur fights before turning professional, had a stellar career outside of the cheating bit
my coach doesn’t let his fighters go pro unless they fought amateur
Good protocol 💯💯
@@coachv3436 yeah dude seems to know his stuff this is coming from someone who’s trained w multiple coaches in the past who were average at best
Yea sirr big brudda keep pressing
🙌🏼🙌🏼💪🏼
Laila Ali won championships without a single amateur fight.
Can you please make video on what is big name tournaments amateur
Like you said it’s best to do amateur and try to train with pro boxers and trainers,
Does a journeyman have the required or no amateur fights before the pros?
Well being a journeyman just means you’ve been around the game and have experience but not the talent to get to the top level
