    Tell him to quit boxing because he's short? Haha. That's the dumbest thing I've read in a long time on this site.

        Yeah, the little guys are usually pretty scrappy.
        Gives them a great chance to compete in a sport that their size doesn't inhibit them that much because of the somewhat fair weight classes.

          he doesnt need to lose weight if hes lean and naturally like that. as long as he's in shape and has skills he should be able to handle it.. all different types have different advantages.. little tanks give me trouble because they have hard heads and good hooks, long arms are a disadvantage when you are up close

          oh and nice manboobs. did you shave your armpits too?
