    Ive got sort of a working agreement with them,lets face it WV is really rural, so to get cornermen,or sparring time in, well you share boxers around. There arent many classic gyms here, mines run out of the room I thought was going to be a formal dining room when we moved here,Mullens is in a basement, and the Tazwell gym is in a barn. In theory theres a gym in Bluefield, but I dont know a soul who uses it,and Superior in Welch pretty much so went in to the tank

    If you fight at 140lbs, thats light Welterweight. The average Light welter is 5' 6''

    You will have a huge height advantage over your opposition.
    Your arms will also be far longer allowing you to pick him off with your reach.

    If you go up in weight, you'll fight taller guys, that can hit harder and like to hit.
    But I'm a rail at 140, I can't even concieve putting on enough mass to do any sort of damage to anyone competing at that weight. I mean, maybe I'm just a dumb kid and don't know what I'm talking about, but I just don't think it's manageable given my frame.
    Check out Kelly Pavlik, Gerald McClellan, Alexis Arguello, all very slim men, all monster punchers

    Sometimes being thin is a big advantage, just work on the tum!

    By gaining weight you are sacrificing a huge natural advantage in boxing competition; in terms of height and reach.

    I was fighting at 6' and 140 and kicking ass. I'm now at 152.
