Is it okay for a skinny guy to go into boxing?

I'm 14, 5'7 and about 120 pounds and I have to admit I'm not muscular at all. But boxing has been something that I'm interested in, and I really want to give it a go. Your thoughts??

    No problem, your'e 14, size and weight mean nothing for a young boxer. Get the training at a boxing gym, stick with it and the size, weight, muscle ratio will put you into your right class as you progress. Remember Tommy Hearns, Mark Breland and Alexis Arguello!

    Certainly. It's not like basketball where size is an advantage. In boxing, your opponent will always be the same size as you... it's called weight class.
