It varies between weights. Anywhere from 25-32, most likely.

There are no contracts in amateur boxing, all participants according to USA Boxing (the governing amateur body) under 156 pounds use 10 oz approved boxing gloves, anything over wear 12 oz. When one spars, well that depends on your Trainer.

For heavy weight, Ali. I remember when he fought as Cassius Clay. Quckest hands and feet I have ever seen for a big man. Plus he packed power in his punch. Surprised many by the force of his fists. Also he always had a gimmick for every new fight. Peanut head for Larry Holmes, the thriller in manilla, plus some of the best fights boxing ever seen Ali vs. Frasier.\n\nFor the other weight classes, I would say Marv Hagler. A bruiser and a smart fighter like Ali.

Well in boxing it similar to be being on a diet. If the case of Pac vs. Morales, they fight at 130 but their natural weight is probably 145 to 150 so they train all this time to lose all this weight before the weigh in. Once they weigh in they eat and drink water and  to gradually come back up to natural weight. So in the fight you will always see what they weighed in and their unofficial weight before the fight. No one really has an advantage (i.e. Mayweather vs. Baldomir {where Baldomir was naturally 180 when they fought at 155}) but the common notion is more weight equals more power. But like Sergio Mora says, "I rather be fast then strong." So normally it's the person who has the most talent that should win.

My guess would be to search the boxing associations websites (i.e., WBA, WBO, IBF, etc.) or try the boxing commisions at the state level (i.e., Neveda, New Jersey, etc.).

Hmm... 20 lbs is too thin for the middle weight. Well i suggest you go to the nearest gym you have in you place then aim for bantamweight (113-119 lbs)  coz during the training you will lose about 3-5 lbs before you fight (as an amateur of course). Good luck guy. I'll watch you in the future huh.
