    Im confident with the right commitment i could fight at Welterweight, but probably more comfortable at Junior middle. I weigh 79/80kg at the moment, nut ive comfrtably got down to 72kg, so with real dedication, i'd drop the last bit no worries.

    i am 5'7" so i want to fight around 130-140 range. but i weigh around 165 do i guess losing 35 pounds average would be crazy. 147 tops i think.

    i'm 6' 1/2 (184cm) and walk around at about 180 pounds, about 10 percent fat. so i probably could get down to smw without much problems. i would be a big mw, but i probably couldn't make the weight because my legs are too strong: thighs are 23,5''. i will probably get back to boxing this year, because i'm going to finish university in march or april and then have more spare time.

    Haha, a little out of shape at the moment.

    I'm about 210lbs (6ft). To be competitive I'd be looking at 160/168. But realistically I suppose between 178-189.

    I'm meant to have a white collar bout at the end of Feb, so need to get rid of this weight sharpish!

    When I'm in shape, I'm most comfortable @ 175 but I would probably fight at 168 and beat Joe Calzaghe's ass SO bad!!!

    I am 6', 181 pounds, working out with free weights in the gym every other day, so that I would probably fight at middleweight or as a last resort at supermiddleweight.

    Well, my time is over. Not that I am old. I am 35. But too old to start training. I am 180lbs right now. If I was to fight today I would have to do it in no more than 140lbs. I am barely 5'6". The first day I went to a boxing gym I was 135lbs, four months later I was 118lbs. But I was 15y/o. Any Puerto Rican in the Forum remember Ruben(Macho Camacho stepfather) in Valencia, Bayamon???? That was my instructor. Then, Freytes Caban in Jardines de Caparra. Went to Lalo Medina in Toa Baja a few weeks but didn't like the fact that my first time in the ring he put me against Pedro "Kikiriki" Feliciano. He was a pro already and I didn't know it. We did 4 rounds and my nose was bleeding like 3 days!!! jejejejeje Fun times!!!

    I'm 6'1 222 at the moment, so a smaller heavyweight
    Even if I lose some fat I'd 'trade up' for some muscle, so I don't think I could quite get down to Cruiser.

    I got "light bones" and I look much heavier. If I would cut off fat, I could be a legit middleweight :D When I was 20 I weighted around 160 and was benching over 200 lb. Beer takes its tool...
