    5'7, 177 lbs? I suggest you hit up the treadmill fast.

    Even at 5'7, 160 lbs, you'll still be fat.

    I suggest you drop down to 140.

    How in the world would you know the guy's body type. :roll: How about not posting if you're just going to be a jerk?

    Because I can get a general picture of his body type by the videos that he posted.

    And it's called constructive criticism.

    Calling him fat isn't constructive.

    140, I think is way to small for me... I would be skeleton... My girlfriend is 137 and shes like 5'4 and her frame is very small. My frame is to wide.. Big shoulders... 154 will be good for me.

    I'm 21 so I'm not too far behind you. I just got into boxing about 4 months ago, even though I've had a passion for it and fighting my whole life. I thought I was getting into it late when I hear about fighters starting to train while in high school, and here I'm almost done with college and seriously getting into it.

    But you only have one life and your own passions, make the most out of them!

    I started at 28 and I have my first fight in two weeks at 30. Age shouldn't be a deterrent, but hopefully they will match you up with someone in the same ballpark.

    This thread has helped a lot... I hope to have more video soon, so I can get some pointers.

    Watched your video, looked pretty good, My advice is try and work everything from your feet, stay on your toes and make sure you don't cross your legs over at any time, try stay relaxed and balanced.

    No, you're not too old. Hell, I thought that I was too old when I started a year ago when I was 20.

    i though i was too old at 18 lol cause i always read about roy jones and de la hoya starting at 6 and whatnot. I guess you can be 80 if you just wanna hit a bag and excercise.
