    Tall/skinny is a huge advantage as long as you aren't weak and/or glass-jawed. If you have power and can handle infighting you'll do fine.

    You aren't gonna succeed if you listen to coaches who want you to fight like Chris Algieri. Doesn't work at the amateur pace. People WILL close the distance whether you like it or not. Gotta let yourself out the cage.
