Question
Im 20,ht5-4,161pd im positive about boxing a career. I just wanna know what weight class should i go for, i was thinking featherweight. I dont have any real boxing training but i took Ninjstu since i was 6-16, and i was kind of a fighter in school and working out is part of me so tell me what u think
Without seeing how your build is it is hard to tell what would be your ideal weight. At the height you are at though you would probably do well at Jr. Featherweight or lower meaning 122 lbs. Again, I do not know for sure because your bone structure and genetics may mean you have to stay at your own weight that you are which is middleweight. Sorry I can't be of more help because your question is a little open ended.
Thanks
Joe
