Is it possible to be naturally gifted at fighting or is it the way I grew up?

Question

i have 4 older brothers who all have never lost a fight i have watched my brothers knock many people out growing up with ease but i am the youngest and somehow ended up the biggest and when we wrestle and fight i seem to always come out on top even when it has been a serious fight in the past also even in high school and in the street i have never lost and i wanna pursue a career in either boxing or mma and see how far i get cause i have even beat boxers in the past while i myself am untrained i was trained by my brothers and parents who grew up fighting also i came from a native American and irish background and my mother said that is what led to our culture growing up and fighting so often i have never lost and have asked people and they say i am just a natural fighter and probably good genetics is this true or am i just lucky i am 6’0 and 215 lbs at 17 i work out from time to time and do have a punching bag and weights but never have been to a gym myself or been trained would y’all agree i am gifted like i’ve been told or just lucky or is it just due to my upbringing

It ain't about where you came from if you're good fighter or not, it might be about your genetics tho ( the code you bringt from your grand grand fathers ) you can be a person who throw stronger or faster punches than maybe average people in general, you can be more flexible and you can have a talent of calculating the distance between you and your opponet, I call these a talent or lets say being gifted by nature. However if you don't train yourself about it then don't expect to win a fight, you said you gave some boxers a beating well they weren't real boxers then if you really gave them a beating. I also grew up fighting, I never lost a fight and I even got into fight against 2 v 1 still I was able to hold my ground and fight, it about your bravery and resistance. I also do Martial Arts for 6-7 years, have a great technique and I do sparring often ( mostly boxing and sometimes kick boxing ) I already had something I bringt by my nature and I am developing it, you can do that too but just think its about being Irish or Native American, I also thought the same cause of being a Turk, cause my ancestors were one of the deadliest ones in history, messed with everybody lol but yeah trust me it ain't about it.. that can be mostly about your genetics you bringt from your family and also the way you grew up.

if you have never ever lost a fight... then you don't know enough about fighting, lol

you don't know how it is to be knocked out, you don't know how it is to be out of all breath, you don't know how it is to be so tired and burned out that you can barely think or stand or even see the person in front of you, lol... and you probably don't know how bad it can hurt to take a liver punch

all the good and best fighters know how all this feels, so... yes, you could go to an actual gym with actual fighters and then find out if you actually have a passion for it, because at the professional level you are just one more with "the gift" but never the only one with "the gift"

the streets are nothing like martial arts, not where it matters

Yes you should definitely try. Its better if you start with boxing and some martial art such as muay thai or jiu-jitsu
