you can do anything you put your mind to, the best way would be to get a good pro training and train hard for a good year and do lots of sparing with good pros to learn the diff styles and get the feel of things. good luck

Well it's virtually impossible to do that, and you would have to be really impressive to get a pro boxing license without an amateur background.
An exception to this was Hasim Rahman, a heavyweight boxer, who only had 3 amateur fights before turning pro, and look how far he got.

Yes you can but it is very dificult to obtain a boxing license without having an amateur career, although Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. is currently fighting as a pro and he never once fought as an amateur.

Pinklon Thomas never had an amateur fight and he did all right he won a piece of the heavyweight title. There are many fighters who never fought amateur bouts. I would recommend all fighters start very young and have all the armature fights he can get. Learning to fight against grown men that all ready know how is a shitty way to make a living.

cant think of any, it would be quite hard to do, you would need to be supernatural in some way, maybe like homer simpson and not being able to get knocked down
