Is 5"10 1/2 too small for 168 super middleweight division?

boxrec has jean pascal at 5'10 1/2

 

You got me beat in height , but I got you beat in reach .

5ft10 , 74 inch reach .

No I think 5ft10 1/2 is just fine for 168 .

 

not to short is what I really think you mean?

answer is NO WAY, don't even worry about the guys that say its a huge advantage to be taller, in heavy weight I would tend to agree but at a fixed weight being super tall is going to mean less dense core so its a trade off that any sized fighter has to make work for them,,,,

one of the hardest parts of being a shorter fighter is you can take a lot of jabs to the face that you normally wouldn't, lol, however, it also helps you get better at taking less jabs to the face as you progress so its a trade off, lol

 

I think you are too stupid for every sport.
Forget the sport carrier, idiota !
The 5'11" Chagaev was the first man who beat the 7' Valuev.
It was in the heavyweight division .
A 5'10.5" and about 168 pounds guy isn't mesomorph at all.
I think you are a ****ing ectomorph without significant muscle
mass.

 

Nigel benn is 5.9 1/2, Eubank Sr. 5.10 to name a few so height won't be an excuse ;-)

 

don't forget Frazier,Norris,Bonavena and Cooper too.

 

I wouldn't say "too small", smallish though, you'll be fighting bigger fighters probably a bit so you'll have to get used to that idea.

 

don't forget Thabiso Mchunu who is a 5'8" cruiser weight and ranked #2 by the wbc.

 

bobby czyz_5'9.5"- light heavy and WBA world cruiserweight champ. dwight qawi-5'6.5" -light heavy and cruiserweight champ,fought foreman competitively for 5 rounds at heavy and well past prime. marvin hagler_5'8"_ undisputed middleweight champ.__roberto duran_5'7"_lightweight,welterweight,light middleweight,middleweight champ! fought Vinny Pazienza in 1994 and 1995 for the IBC Super Middleweight Championship and was defeated both times by unanimous decision, but many people felt Duran clearly won the first bout and he was robbed of the victory.​

 

Would help if you said your weight

 

Why are boxing noobs always so interested in this sort of thing? It doesn't make a difference to anything. Sorry mate, you're half an inch too short for the super middle division, that half an inch is everything.

 

frazier too.
