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 luckComment

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.Comment
