If the heart isn't in it is true. My dear old Dad had the chance and was trained by a pro boxing trainer here in Cincy just out of Hughes High School 18-19 years old just before WWII. After 1 month the trainer told Dad to forget it. He said as Dad told me years ago, Kid, you got all the tools , the right size (for a middleweight) you can hit, you got the foot and hand speed but you lack 1 thing and pointed to his chest, you don't have a boxers heart, you don't want to hurt anybody. And that was the end of Dad's boxing career.
