Weight class definitely has more to do with it than just "weight".
Here are some averages to help you (boxing weight classes)
200+/Heavyweight : 6'3+
200/Cruiserweight: 6'2
175/Light Heavyweight: 6'1
168/Super Middleweight: 6'0
160/Middleweight: 5'11
154/Light Middleweight: 5'9
147/Welterweight 5'8
140/Light Welterweight: 5'7
135-130/Lightweight/Super Featherweight: 5'6
126/Featherweight: 5'5
Naturally there are plenty of exceptions, so don't let that stop you. |
