    Small for weight class?

    Im about 5 feet and 7 1/2 inches tall. And I weigh 145. Is that average height or am I small for my class?

    Reason im asking is because im about to go back into boxing except this time im ONLY focusing infighting and having a more squared up stance and all that. Being more squared up lets you thow punches with more of a weight shift and the head move ment + weaving and all that is alot better.

    The reason im asking is because I have always been torn between being a outboxer and being a infighter. Maybe boxer puncher is the solution.

            Pro. I cant stand poking people non stop for points which is why I want to just stick ONLY to infighting. I like throwing real punches that hurt.

                    You could dehydrate your self to light weight(135) which 5' 7" is a good height or dehydrate your self to light welter weight(140) which your height is still good. I would recommend you fight as an amatuer for a while (2 or 3 years at least) so you could build experience and skills so you dont get knocked out in your first pro fight.
