    I'm 175 lb, I think at least 140 of those pounds is athletic weight. Given my stature, if I'd really want to compete, I may want to make my way down to 140 or less eh?

    What are my advantages and disadvantage against a taller fighter of equal skill?

    I'm going to be honest with you. No way can you fight at 140 at 5' 3". That's fly or bantam type height.
    Okay. I have an idea why, but what are the reasons?
    Two questions before I answer that. How old are you and what is your reach? From inside the arm pit to the end of your fist?
    25, 25 1/2 reach.
    Ok now from finger tip to finger tip like at boxrec. 63" maybe?
    Just shy of 62".

    Alright young friend now consider that Jimmy Wilde who was and is the best flyweight that ever lived was also 5 foot 3 and had a 66 inch span. It's -38 where I am and I just purchased Total Recall 2. I'm going to smoke a joint and prepare to be let down shortly. Thanks for the convo.

    Haha, thank you friend. I will try my best at the odds, and will either tell you how bad it was, or not so bad it was.

    Your reach is very short and you're quite heavy for you're size, I'm 5'9 and 176lb with a 74 reach and I'm heavy, I'd want to get to 140lbs.

    Imagine we fought, I'd have 6inches height and 12inches reach. That doesn't mean I'd win but it would give me the advantage.

    I make this point because I'm a relatively short boxer.
    You say tomato,
    ‘n I say …… it correctly.

    The advantages are in height and reach, I understand that. What I want to know is how, in context, for example, and vice versa.

    And all the more glorious if I win!
