Havnt started boxing yet, but I am interested, and trying to prepare for when I move close enough to a club. (See my post "Preperation") I was wondering what the ideal weight would be for someone who is 5'9? Right now, I am definatly not big enough, 5'9 and only 132 pounds. Will this be a disadvantage for me in a certain weight class gaining weight as opposed to someone who loses weight to make the same weight class?
None at all , you should know about power weight ratio through climbing same applys, but in Boxing you dont go for it as much. Theres nothing to stop you hitting the deck
i thought that when i realised i was 6ft and only 140lb but then i thought of this. :)
People say I'm to light for my height so this must be a rare thing for someone to be underweight in the fighting sport.
I am only gonna fight someone in my weight class, which means they will never be taller than me or have a longer reach because they'll be the correct weight for there height so the chances of them having the reach advantage score very much in my favour
I'm 5'9 and 133 and wondered this aswell...Quote:

132-40 is a good weight but you don't need to put any lbs on.
