    Default Heavyweight Height

    I am relatively new to boxing and am wondering if my height and reach are too small for the heavyweight division. I am 6' 1.5" tall with a 76.5" reach.

    Your reach isn't terrible. Neither is your height.

    Yeah. Those are some decent measurements for a heavyweight. Although, you should probably strive more for Cruiserweight or Light Heavyweight. Those will suit your size better.
