I want to quit sports until i got ll and cll, is it worth to start sport afterwards? Because the advantage of long legs is to big, i cant compete with guys who have long legs, so i need ll

Why would you want to quit Sports until you got LL done?.
Your body needs to be prepared physically for LL and in its most optimal shape and this is where sports help. The fitter, more flexible you are can determine how well you tolerate LL and how your recovery will go.
So the main purpose you want to do LL is to give you an edge over your opponent s in boxing?
If you get all the all clear from your surgeon/doctor then yes you can start sports. But be warned your athletic ability can be diminished post LL.
Your career would end up being better if you don’t do LL and start boxing now.
You are going yo be a verter boxer now
Have fun getting knocked out left and right because you have sh1t footwork after CLL. Also kiss any kind of power you have in your hands goodbye because you can't leverage your punches with your hips and legs like you can before CLL.
Matter fact, go watch Cotto vs Foreman and see how a knee injury nowhere as bad as what CLL would do to you, did to Foreman in that fight. Height doesn't win fights, and what about your arms? Your reach will still be the same. If you can't compete with taller dudes then ask yourself the real questions, what is it about their height, or style that's giving you trouble, how you're approaching boxing them, what can you change, how can you adjust, etc. and then applying it.
What's your current height and/or weight class?
LL will destroy your career before it even begins tbh plus unless you go for arm lengthening your reach will still be the same so what would be the point

Are you aware of Sweden who did LL at 35 with a shady doctor and overlengthened (7cm tibia) and now still compete in Taekwondo (a martial art that involves legs far more than boxing does) at national level at the age of 40 with rods still inside his legs?
As for footwork, it depends on what kind of fighter you are. If you're like Muhammad Ali, then you're prob fked after LL because all he does is just running away. But George Foreman is a whole different thing. He barely uses any footwork, just stand there and hit. So was Sam Langford.

Because the competition and talent pool in Taekwondo tournaments are anything like boxing, MMA or any actual combat sport 
Your entire post revolves around the idea that if someone has done it, everyone can. Ever heard of the word sample size? 1 or 2 people's experience isn't proving sh1t. When you think like that, like a lot of members on here do, you're skewing the narrative to fits yours.
Footwork is going to matter no matter how much you want to minimize its importance. Especially if TS boxes in a weight class under middleweight, which is why I asked because I don't want to assume, how's he going to deal with the speed of everyone in the lower weight classes? Slow and plodding might work, if he was already a 6'4 250lb heavyweight with crazy power, sounds like someone...oh yea George Foreman. But if TS is 6'4, he probably wouldn't be here, would he?

Dwight Muhammad Qawi is 5'7" and doesn't rely on footwork either. Stop making excuses. Sweden did it.
You got no speed? Then maximize your strength and power.
My point stays. Even if LL diminishes your athletic function to some extent, it doesn't have to be the end of everything. Just gotta adjust . Anyway, if TS is short then his height itself is already a huge disadvantage in the first place, LL or not, if he gets into a streetfight with a much bigger guy.

More assumptions lol for someone with the username Bruce Wayne, you'd expect intelligence.
So TS gets LL, can't utilize great footwork and now has to "maximize strength and power". You don't even watch fights do you? Power is not something you can just add, nobody would be pillow-fisted if you can "train power" lol. Also, how's TS throwing with power when his hips and legs are compromised lmfao? Anyhow, what a pathetic argument, because in this case TS has become a limited, crippled boxer and at a disadvantage because he simple can't do everything a normal person can do in boxing.
Street fights have more dangerous variables than height and weight, I don't expect you to understand, as you probably assume people fight fair on the streets lol
