i don't box or anything, but it would make sense to get something close to your body weight...

I'm about your size, less 20lbs, and I just bought a 159. Anywhere in the range 153-160 should be great according to all the major manufacturers recommendations.

I am 5'4, and weigh 130.  I would like to weigh about 120-125 which would be about a size 8 for me.  It depends on your build, I suppose.

you should weigh 145 lbs, a 100lbs is very under weight.

Depends if you got a cart bag or a carry bag.   cart bags are heavier, with 14 clubs probably and least 35 lbs.  my carry bag with 14 clubs is only 24 lbs.

140 - 184 lbs\nThis recommendation is based on a Body Mass Index (BMI) range of 19-25.

Join an amateur boxing club or gym. Just be careful its a tough sport. \n\nAlso instead of paying for expensive lessons or camps, why not buy a heavy bag and install it at home. That way you can learn on your own from textbooks or the internet.

Alot of the college teams use easton synergy and as for what size i would go with a 34 in maybe a 28 oz or whatever weight you are comfortable with.

There is paperwork for boxing, managing, promoting, you name it. Contact your state government's agency for boxing to see what you need.

I used to fill mine with sand. It teaches you to hit harder in order to move the bag, it could possibly weigh 600lbs or more.

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.

160lbs. I should know. You don't want to be to thin, and your height is a factor. no man wants a size 0.
