Because I'll Be 18 In June And Right Now I Weigh Arouind 210 Lbs xEDDIEx 04-10-2008, 05:25 PM depends. how tall? rmz 04-10-2008, 05:37 PM How tall and what bf%? mickeyb 04-10-2008, 06:49 PM What ever you feel comfortable at. angus the bull 04-10-2008, 08:53 PM in the ams about 6 "1 and above Sven72 04-10-2008, 11:30 PM I think it depends how comfortable you are taking on guys who are bigger than you. Bob Fitzimmns won the Heavyweight championship at around 170 pounds. Jack Dempsey at 180. Old time fighters I know, but they were knocking out guys who were weighing in at 230 pounds Detroit101 04-11-2008, 08:26 AM I am 250 lbs 6' tall and have about 11-13% body fat....I carry my weight well though however; I will plan on losing another 15 lbs before I start competing...it all depends on your conditining... Sven72 04-11-2008, 08:31 AM ...it all depends on your conditining...

Southpaw Stinger 04-12-2008, 10:32 AM Get yourself in boxing shape, (not good shape, boxing shape - there is a difference) and see where your weight ends up. West24 04-12-2008, 12:45 PM detroit, i HIGHLY HIGHLY doubt ur 250 6ft with 11-13% body fat. KING THUMPER 05-06-2008, 11:04 PM Im About 5ft 10 Inches Tall jberg 05-07-2008, 05:14 AM at 5'10, its very hard to fight heavyweight. i mean majority of am fighters at heavy are 6'2+ hell im 6'1 and im going to fight middleweight it has been done before (eg. tyson) but then you have to be a real puncher. id advise getting in to boxing shape, and seeing where you stand. you may find things work out good luck Pork Chop 05-07-2008, 10:17 AM you wonder if these size guidelines are the reason the heavyweight division s*x so bad these days. Used to be, if you felt game and were in the ballpark of 200lbs, then it was cool to give it a shot. i'm 5'10; my boxing shape weight is well over 200; though boxing shape doesn't necessarily mean "low bodyfat %age" for me (think fedor emelianenko). I don't have a ton of in-the-gym KOs; but I don't usually have problems with taller guys until they get above 6'4 or 6'5, and then only if they're real quick. A buddy of mine has a big cross at 5'9 & 160 and absolutely destroyed this guy at 6'6 & 240. Speed kills and once you get inside, it's time to go to work. Big bill tate was a solid heavyweight skill-wise. Size wise he'd be considered "big" even by today's standards. He didn't exactly go undefeated either. James Toney could've had a much better career at heavyweight if he'd bothered to work on conditioning, but was still a contender, and he's officially 5'10 (though shorter than me imho). Worry about learning your craft & picking up good skills and athleticism won't matter so much. hemichromis 05-07-2008, 12:09 PM if your 210 you could probnably get down to cruiser Detroit101 05-07-2008, 03:11 PM detroit, i HIGHLY HIGHLY doubt ur 250 6ft with 11-13% body fat.
