    What do you think the hardest weight class to fight in for amatuer?
    I personally think its 160-165.
    And how tough is 130?? Is 130 more speed or power?

    69kg and 75kg are usually the most competitive. It's the average male size, plus people have to make weight so you seldom get fat, unfit guys in there. They all come to fight.

    81kg in my opinion has the best balance, since they are big and can hit, but are still very fast.

    91+ is the hardest literally. One punch can turn things around.

    Yes like most competitive, i guess. Something that makes you say like dam i wouldnt want to fight in that weight class. A weight class where you really need to be good because the competition is so high.

    165 and 178

    if ur a natural 172 pounder or so 165 is the weight from u, u can bring the size and power.

    id say heavyweight and anything below 122
    now i say heavyweight because picture this, whatever you weigh now imagine being over 200 pounds and boxing! That would be freaking insane trying to box at a weight so heavy it would take a hell lot of hard hard hard work to be able to move around and be quick and throw punches at such a weight class

    I say below 122 because I have noticed that the fighters around that weight range throw a **** load of punches and tire out less quickley which = more punches, more damage, constant movement.

    I would say 165, but that's where I box and that's also what I'm used to. For all that everyone says, Middleweight really is boxing's premier division-while they're not goliaths; they're all fit because they have to make weight; and you get guys ranging from 5'8 or 5'9 and 165 and stocky and heavily built, who try to get in close and unload, to guys like me, who are taller (I'm 6'4) and really heavily on footwork, skills, and technique to score points and win fights. 178 is another tough division, because you get big guys who can still be quick and strong. 201 and 201+ are tough largely because of how strong the guys are, one punch could turn anything around. But being a middleweight, a lot of heavyweights seem slow and sloppy partially because of how big and strong they are.

    Novice heavies in particular often get damn tired and sloppy in the latter part of a fight. But of course there are others who move quickly and well.

    interesting..

    I fight at 165 and the majority of people here are saying that's the toughest because you have to make weight?:huh everyone has to make weight. I am a bit lost here

    I would say heavyweight..no matter how big you are, someone is always bigger.
