    First of all, I wondered if anyone had any decent club recommendations around the London area? I was looking at Gleasons but it's changed to Rooney's gym now and it seems a bit pricey. I'm in Highgate/Kentish town but I don't mind a small travel as long as it's worth it.

    On to my next part, i'm still quite young (17) so I hope i'll be able to take it to the pro ranks but is there anyway to try and work out what kind of weight I would be best at? At the minute i'm about 6ft 1/ 6 ft2 but I'm walking around at about 160 lbs. That's fully clothed and not hungry or anything. Anyone reckon I could be a Paul Williams style genetic freak? :lol: My main assett is speed and defence with a solid jab and great straight right (I've done some training before which is how I know!)

    Thanks for any kind of help
