    154.
    The guys who can make that weight usually have a decent walk around weight to begin with.
    Tiny is reserved for anyone below 130.

    I think 140 guys don't look massive but they look normal

    If Middleweights weren't professional boxers but still kept themselves in good shape, they would walk around at 185 or so.

    I'm also quite sure this is very different for many people due to where they live.
    In some Asian countries, someone around 160 is referred to as big, while in many European countries that's clearly below average.

    I think it also depends on how big somebody is himself.
    I'm 200 pounds , so i would say at 154 is normal size for a man.

    I walk around at 175 - 180, in my mind I'd say 147 and below is "little"

    For me in terms of boxing probably anything below 140 I would classify as little. Some at 140 walk around at 160+ who fight there. But in terms of a day to day life anything under 175 is small to me.

    Errol Spence during a weigh in is pretty much the regular sized man. Anyone the size of Errol Spence or bigger are not 'little men'.
