    Why worry about weight? Put in a few months at the gym, and then see how you do in sparring.

    Cross that bridge when you come to it!

    celestino caballero WBA 122 champ i believe is 5'10. Actually the smaller your weight is the better as you could make use of that height advantage. Don't let the small guys get inside though. Always use the jab
