going strictly by your weight if you were to step on the scale right now, what weight class would you qualify for?
What would be your ideal weight class to fight in?
I would be a cruiserweight right now but I'd actually fight as a light heavy.

You've caught me at a bad moment, I'm a little out of shape. I'm a middle but I could make Welter pretty easily...

Middleweight, but if I lost weight, I could get back down to welterweight which is where I fought at

Let's see, I walk around at between 166-170. I work out a lot and like to run. I can drop to 160 very easily by myself and that is with eating regularly. At my heigh of 5'8" to 5'9", with a proper diet, I think I could drop to about 154 by myself honestly. That's a scary thought.

I'd be HW, 6'3" 230lbs. reach aprox 79"(could stand to lose some fat) I've been out of shape guess thats what happens when you get married. I actually have a speed bag, heavy bag and weight equipment in my basement that I havent been using.
I could probably cut to cruiser but I`d lose muscle too but that would be the best idea considering I wouldnt want to fight in an open weight class.

I'm 6'1 and 210, so that's me in the heavyweights.
I could probably boil down to Cruiser no problem, I'm not exactly ripped to the bone...

I'm 6'1/2" 157 lbs I weighed my self yesterday. If I boxed I'd be a middleweight. I might be able to get down to Jr middleweight.

Right now my weight is 152 or so...I go to the gym reguarly not that long ago I got down to 146, but I could probably make 140 with proper diet....i am about 5'9.
HW 103.5 kg 1.93 cm. When i was young i was fightíng as a middilweight as amateur (almost 30 years ago)

Either WW or JMW.
I'm 5'11 and 155 right now.
Irish Steel
08-14-2007, 12:38 PM
About 135, so i could got to light welter or light weight pretty easy.
When I quit the amateurs at age 24 I was LMW. At 5'11" with a toothpick frame I'd have moved up to MW if I'd kept at it.
I'm 49 now and fluctuate between 175-180. I like my pizza and beer. Doing better than seven years ago when I weighed 205. That was a shock.
Right now my 15 y/o 90 lb. niece can kick my ass. But she's a toughie. I'd like to get her into boxing. She'd be a flyweight world champ by age 25 if she wanted it. I'm serious - she's quick and hits like a mule. I let her him my left shoulder hard as she can and she nearly dislocated it!

Right now I would fight middleweight, I'm 5f9 and 161 pounds, when I'm in shape I either fight at 154 or 147, 3 years ago I could make 140, now I've gained too much muscle to cut it that much without affecting my performances
6ft and 280lb or so....shit, even if i got ripped id be 230/240lb....guess id be a heavyweight.....
BigReg
08-14-2007, 09:50 PM
I go about 5 "8 155lbs. So I guess I'd probably be a WW.
IM probably at about Light Middle right now, Id fight pro at Light Welter though. I really doubt I could get any lower than that though, the last time I weighed 10 stone I looked like the guy out of the machinist in my face.
i've been training for 3 weeks for my 7th pro fight, and i'm at 164 right now...i'm only 4 lbs over weight with 10 days until fight-time...i'm 4-2, 4KOs and i'm fighting a guy 5-0, 3KOs...i'm gonna starch that ass!

Heavyweight, but if I took a big shit I'd be a cruiser. If I got serious about training, I could probably fight at SMW.

6'0 1/2, 250...If I were doing actual fight training for conditioning and agility, I could realistically boil down to around 230-225 without dropping too much power. There's no way in sam hell I could boil down to Cruiser though lol- the frame's just too big.

right now i'd be fighting at heavyweight, but i have a frame best suited for junior-welterweight lol.

Know whutcha mean, chili bean. :nut By age 30 I had all the discipline of Roberto Duran and Arturo Gatti. Up and down from 175-200 lbs. I hate dieting - gotta have my pizza, Mexican food, BBQ and beer. I'm better suited to armchair boxing nowadays.
During my last amateur bout I entered at LMW but they didn't have anyone in my weight class. The nearest they had was a spare lightweight and a LHW. It was an informal match so I went for the LHW. I forgot to ask how tall he was. He was at least 6'2" to my 5'11". I won but had a helluva headache afterward from soaking up all of his jabs. Decided I didn't wanna be called "Punchy" for the rest of my life so that was my final amateur bout.

well, you kinda get a pass. i'm only 21 :lol:, i've got no excuse for being as out of shape as i am.
good story though. after living life in a normal way, i'd hate to one day have all of that change because i got my skull caved in. hell, even if the damage isn't all that bad. i like having a sharp mind, i like being able to quickly blurt out sarcastic remarks as jokes to my friends and new people i meet in school. i like being able to solve math problems a bit more quickly than the average student. even if i were to lose little abilities like that i'd be devastated. i realize it happens to plenty of would be fighters, and the sad part is most of them never get a shred of glory when they hang up the gloves, but they also lose something that can never be returned. this boxing shit gets tragic for a lot of men.

Light heavy as I a play more hockey than I do fighting these days but as I'm only 5-10 I'd probably drop to Super middle if I was goign to take the boxing seriously again.

I am 5'8'', yesterday I was 132 pounds. Normally in my best shape I weigh 128, but it would be pretty easy to make 122 for a fight with a little less muscle. Used to fight at about 116 but I don't think I would be strong there anymore.
MrMagic
08-15-2007, 11:12 AM
Im walking around at 150-155lbs, 5'11.
I think I would do good at Welterweight.

i'm about 220 but could get down to cruiser with lots of road work.

I 'm 5'8 and weight exactly 200 pounds. But if I was a boxer, I WOULD fight at heavyweight.

I box at middleweight in the amateurs; 165. But I only weigh 160 some right now; so I'm gaining weight to get to about 168 or so so I can drop to 165 and not be outsized; and to add that extra muscle mass so I'll be a bit quicker and stronger.
