If you're with Amir Khan's trainer, what are you asking us for?

Bah... maybe he wants more than one opinion?

A fighter be effective at any height in any division to be honest. What ever weightclass you would enter from strawweight to super heavy, you will always come across opponents who are taller and shorter than you.

Its what you feel comfortable fighting at - i.e... can you hit like a heavyweight? and can you take punches like a heavyweight? If the answer is yes...and if you are telling the truth about your weight and it being all muscle. Then you could be an effective amatuer - especially if you utilise your shortness instead of thinking its a negative.

No ya, I know, I just meant like it's hard for us to say anything, we don't even know him, his trainer or peers at the gym would have a much better idea. I mean, we can't really give him any real advice on the subject simply based on his measurements.

Dwight Muhammad Qawi was only 5'6-5'7. He fought Evander Holifield at Cruiser

i always think of james toney. he's only 5ft 9/10 or something isn't he? He's a short heavyweight.

You can't, unless your name is Dwight Qawi. Find another sport, like judo.....

Tyson was short but it never stopped him being a devastating heavyweight. Anythings an asset if you know how to use it.
