Answer 4

Hey Champ with your height and weight you will have a great advantage in the amateurs. Develope your jab , that will be your main weapon, It will set up your offense and will be your best defense to keep your opponent at bay.

Answer 5

woah! that height for a welterweight? You're too tall. Anyway... you can go boxing now... You can be like Roy Jones. You can reach heavyweight... Try conditioning and everything.. I believe that you can be a boxer!!

Answer 6

Yes Yes you can.

Answer 7

If you want it, go for it.  You will have to start at the beginning, get into cardio shape first, then learn techniques, and finally get into sparring and actual boxing.  The key is finding a gym and a trainer.  Then, your trainer will guide you step by step.  So if you are ready for a lot of work, do it!

Answer 8

Wow 6'4 and 164lbs naturally? That's amazing. 17 is not too young at all.  You are a trainers dream, if those are your true stats, considering you are the least bit coordinated.  Get in there and do it, don't wait, train and see how you like it.  Don't be 26 and decide now is the time. DO IT NOW! and Good luck :)

Answer 9

Its not too late for you to start boxing.  I know that Rocky Marciano was in his 20s when he got his start, and there have been a number of heavys that have started around your age.  You are a bit lean for your height in terms of boxing.  If you fill out and bulk up, you have good height and presumably a good reach.  If you are naturally quick, then there is no reason for you not to persue it.
