Boxing Weight Classes
Posted by Admin
Boxing weight classes are a way of ensuring that boxers of similar size and weight are matched up. While one can argue that a true champion would fight anyone, fighting within one's weight class makes for better fights. Bigger boxers have more natural weight behind their punches. Heavyweights tend to inflict more knockouts but the fighters tend to be slower. Featherweights, on the other hand, are blindingly fast. Dividing up boxing into weight classes helped to reduce the number of lop sided victories and the ability of boxers to pick on smaller opponents.
It is not uncommon for boxers to move into and out of weight classes. As they grow older, they could move from middleweight to light heavyweight in order to challenge themselves more or to take a title in two different weight classes. Nothing says one has to stay in one class for one's entire career. If one can add or lose the weight, one can fight in whatever class one wants.

I just wanted to ask how do you know which weight class you are best in and how do you gain weight without adding fat.

If you want to gain weight without fat you need to hit the gym alot with protien shakes after (no creatine or weight gainer). But in Boxing you would want to lose weight unless youre up in the heavyweight division.
