Whats the best height?

[Warrior189]

I wanted to know whats the best height for a heavyweight boxer n for other boxing classes?

I would say ideally you would be so tall that your opponent could not even reach your waste level, even if he jumps. At 16 feet tall, you can hammer anybody you're boxing, and they wouldn't be able to get a legal shot off. So I guess 16 feet tall is perfect. Maybe 16 and a half feet if you're boxing someone particularly tall.

it depends on your style. if you fight like muhammad ali then, its good to be tall and have better reach. if you fight like joe frasier then, its ok to be short.

the taller the better says me a guys who's like 6'1'-6'2" (I guess I grew in my twenties LOL) going against bigger/taller people doesn't bother me because of, now say it with me kids FOOTWORK lots of people will want you to be the absolute lightest you can be while still being the tallest in your weight class, these people are often dumbfucks that wreck a fighters natural instincts. Go too light and you may lose power, especially if you're a natural heavy weight, remember the goal is to be the most in shape you can be while still being in the most fun weight class, the heavy weight class

If you look at history and records, and just plan bad son of a guns. Some of the badest men to have walked this planet were 5'10 to 6'1

My favorite fighter of all time was Jack Johnson, but thats another topic.
