AboutJoe Hofer Expertise I can answer most questions regarding boxing instruction and or various training methods. Training for beginners or experienced professionals. I can also answer questions regarding effective weight loss.
Experience I have trained beginning boxers as well as accomplished professionals. I have owned and managed my own gym outside of Atlanta Georgia and currently do personilized boxing instruction and training in Tampa Florida. I have promoted professional boxing shows in St. Louis, Missouri including several World and State Championships. I have Supervised a World Championship for the International Boxing Organization and the World Boxing Board of which I am currently on their Board of Directors.
Question I have a friend who is 6'2" and 215 lbs. He is a good athlete, and played college tennis. He has lightly trained in a boxing gym the past year or so, but would be considered a novice, and has never been in an organized boxing match.
My friend believes that because of his size and strength, he would be able to defeat a 140lb Golden Glove fighter. In your opinion, does my friend stand a chance?
Based on the above information, would you be able to set-up a fight for my friend? He is willing to pay $3,000 to locate the best fighter that meets his criteria.
Thank you.

Answer I would not touch that with a ten foot pole. Weight is very important that is why they have weight classes. Obviously if the heavier guy cant fight at all then perhaps the smaller one could win, but you should not go there and never attempt to fight out of weight classes.
