    5'5 too short for heavyweight?

    If you are 55kg and that short could you put on weight to go to HW?

    No.

    Average HW is over 6 ft.

    At 5’5 you are at a huge disadvantage at welter to put things in perspective.

    Of course if you pack titanium fists all
    Arguments are null and void. But if you had titanium, you wouldn’t be asking, you’d just be knocking everybody out.

      Pretty difficult because you'll have to be fatter than Ruiz and jump just to touch Fury at 6'9".

        Dwight Qawi did it as a pro. He was built like a tank and had an iron chin though.

          5'5" is basically a midget, so yes. Deontay or Fury vs anyone below 5'10" is a freak show and nobody wants to see that ****.

            5'5 is short for life in general.

                How old are you? You may not have finished growing at that midget height.

                PS. Mike Tyson is nowhere near the 5'10" they list him as.

                  5'5" is short for welterweight.
