Do i need to lose weight?

If you used to make it comfortably then you probably haven't outgrown the weight and the weight you put on is probably only excess. Spend some time getting it and try to maintain around the 10st 12 limit. At 5'7 at welter your not going to be too much at a disadvantage I don't think, at middleweight you will be probably be pretty small.

 

You should learn to fight before concerning yourself with weight. Get in good fighting shape while doing so, and see where you end up.

 

if your head wasnt so big you would be a flyweight

 

You don't need to be concerned with your weight unless you're entering a competition that requires weight classes.
Train as you normally would and eat a healthy balanced diet and you'll end up where your body should be.

 

5 foot 7, 11 stone 8 when I was 5 foot 7 (grew since then)i used to fight 52kg roughly 8 stone.

 

5ft-7ins is dwarfish at middle and not very tall at welter either.
i'm 5ft-11 and fought a few lads my height at 140-148lbs.they all had skinny legs like me too.

is the welter limit not still 148lbs ???

 

i don't understand the 17-19 bit either.its 30 years since i boxed and may as well be 300.
middles used to look massive to me,but if your not carrying any fat then you'll have to box at that weight!!

 

I'm 5'9" and fight at light welter, I'm not even tall at the weight as I fought the jolly green giant well over 6 feet at 140.

 

**** me,thats tall.
i'm glad i never boxed anybody that tall as i could never slip inside or under punches

 

You are a young guy. Still growing. Its no good for you to lose weight. If you can make 69 by cutting out the junk food and soda and doing more road work thats what you should do. But don't go on a crash diet.

How much you train and run?

Its better to train the weight off then do it by diet.

 

:good:good

the last part is 100% fact

 

jolly green giant :rofl:rofl

that guy was massive looked abit like Michael Lomax fought the other week
