So at 27 years of age (old i know !) im looking into getting in to Boxing, i know its good to keep myself fit, but because im quite a competitive sportsman, i only want to do it if im going to be able to get some amateur bouts out of it. If i am to pursue this, i want to do it properly, so if i was seeing if anybody could give me any advice of what weight i'd be most suited to fighting at in the amateurs.

Im 5'8 (173cm) and currently walking out of shape around at about 182lbs, but during the football (soccer season) im generally about 160-168lbs. ...... Ive not got a particuarly muscular upper-body build, but do have quite broad strong shoulders for my height and muscular legs. And have a background in football and rugby. Am i right in thinking if i were to take boxing serious enough to have amateur fights i'd be better off getting down to around 140-150 ??

Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.
