My measurements

[Fox McCloud]

So I was wondering how much of a size advantage I would have if I started boxing.

I am in between 6' and 6'1, have a 26 inch arm length (measured from the armpit to the end of the fist). I weight 129 pounds right now. I am completely out of shape, so if I started running to get into shape, I'm sure I could lose 7 pounds or so to drop down to 122... maybe I could only lose 3 and could only fight at 126.

I would be what you call a feather fist, because my arms are so tiny... but I have been told that people can feel it when I hit them (in the arms, so...)

What do you all think?

I didn't know if the wingspan is supposed to be with close fists or outstretched fingers.

Wingspan (fists): 68 inches
Wingspan (fingers): 73 inches

I'm built like Kelly Pavlik, but not nearly as powerful. I hit pretty hard (or so I've been told) but nowhere near him. 6'7" 175lbs. Arm length is 30 inches, no clue about my wingspan or how it's measured.

In amatuer boxing, the taller and lankier the better imo. You can move around and jab the whole fight.

I knew I should've been a boxer. I curse the day I left Philadelphia.

My god, you are tall. I can't think of almost any boxers who are over 6'6. You should have been a boxer.

You can't determine **** based on size. Go to the gym, do it for a few months and figure it out whether you're good and/or you want to do it.
