Too small for the weight class or too small for the X guy.

What fights did you watch when you heard them say that?

Besides the ones listed above, also hear it a lot when people talk about Marquez v Mayweather Jr.

The second question I asked for myself. I'm 5'4'' and weigh a hefty athletic 175. I was in track in high school for 4 years, I was also in my high school's military program and joined their after school "special forces". That worked the shit out of me! Did a lot of push-ups, sit ups, pull ups and ups in general.

I'm working on getting to a more ideal weight to fight for me. I haven't tried, but at this point I'm not sure if I could get down lower than 140. But then again, I'm no health expert.

One of my goals is to compete on an amateur level. Possibly participate in the golden gloves. Wont go pro unless I have a real talent for it.

I've grown to really love boxing. I've always had an interest, but it was a passing interest. Now I'm almost obsessed with it. There are actually a lot more questions I'd love to ask but have been meek about it. So I more or less lurk in these forums and read all of what you guys have to say.

I would also like to write for boxing in some form, as well. Because the drama is always there, so boxing should be easy to right, right? Haha

Besides that man, I'm just a student of the game, I want to learn as much as I can about the sport and hopefully contribute to it in some way.

Taller fighters do have an advantage in height and reach, if they know how to use it. However there are other factors such as boxing skill, speed, punch power, composure, chin etc Margarito was slow in comparison to Manny who dominated him in an excellent fight.
