6' 2"
210 lbs
77 inch reach/wingspan
Should I put on 10-15 lbs and stay a heavyweight?
Or should I drop to cruiserweight? (I'm too big for lightheavy)
The only doubt that I have is whether or not I am tall enough and have the reach.

I would go heavyweight. Thats where the money is. Also Not much real competition out there in that division. So put a string of wins together and get ready to collect a big paycheck.

I would have to see your build. If your body looks like it wouldn't get slower gaining another 15 pounds I would say fight Heavyweight. plus there's no interest or money in the cruiserweight division. journeyman heavies make 5-10K a fight in the u.s. and you could go to Germany and make 50K per fight down there as a heavyweight. and that's even if you are just a journeyman. You'll just have to weigh what you want. If the money is not an issue compared to success in the ring, then go to cruiserweight.

You can be a heavy weight at even 200 lbs., but if i were you i'd try to drop the wieght to become a cruiserweight.

In my opinion, you'd be better at cruiserweight. Why can't you do down to light heavyweight? Some 6'2" guys are middleweights.

Physical tools matter, but yeah you can box heavyweight. How well is another matter. It's best if possible to take weight off and go lower if your can.

Depends how old you are. If your young start out as a cruiser and as you get older move up to heavy
