At what weight class do you stop referring to boxers as little men?

An in shape and "big" superbantamweight is no longer tiny in the sense that those guys are man sized. But they are little for being men.

 

MW and above. Tho some 154 and 147 dudes I'd not necessarily count as little. But I'm only 5'10 and about 180lb, so I'm probably a little man to someone else

 

147 is probably the lowest, and I only picked it because of Paul Williams.

 

Ive always thought a guy weighing 11stone has the capabilities to knockout anyone with the right shot. Perfect speed/power combination.

 

To be 12th is bad, sure. But there's a 12-13% difference to #1. To single out the US is stupid, considering there's not a big difference to other countries. And typically those who do this, at least on this forum, are from the UK.

Don't get me wrong, we do have a fast food problem. But 35% hardly justifies being labeled a fat country, especially by those who live in a country only 5% away lol.

I don't necessarily think the bmi rating should be standard. I think I'm supposed to be 150-160 (don't remember). I felt great but people thought something was wrong when I hit 175. But **** them I felt good and wanna go back.

 

140lbs to me is a decent size, especially considering they would be cutting from the 150's and they are ripped.

I wouldn't call them midgets at that size

 

That height and weight probably just looks soft, not fat necessarily. Also consider how the weight is distributed, body fat %, muscle, etc.

I posted a pic of me at 186 lbs, people thought I looked like I was in the 160's. I'm 5'8".

 

I agree. Guys with smaller frames look bigger without a shirt on than those with larger frames. Look at a guy like Kovalev who has a huge frame and is lightly/lean muscled. He looks fairly thin because he's not a muscular guy, he's just got a big frame.

 

I find it funny when posters talk about their size and they are much bigger or smaller than I pictured them to be

For example I always pictured CST80 to be a little midget pretty much a Hitler look-a-like because the way he throws his little tantrums I thought he was making up for his inadequacies lol. Next minute he's saying he's a Lebedev lookalike, he might be naturally bigger than me.

I'm in my early 30's and 6ftish, probably should naturally weigh around the early 80kg region ripped (180lbs), but I'm too lazy to do cardio and like to eat so I just smash the tin at the gym hence I'm closer to the 100kg 220lbs region and have a little excess on the gut

 

In general any man under 5' 10" and 175lbs I would consider to be small person.

 

You know, most guys who are 190+ lean at 5'10" are on some sort of steroid.

 

I used to box at 140-150lbs, Ive weight lifted and got to about 170-180lbs pretty lean, 5'10. atm im just a beer belly. my build is completely average. i guess anyone over 200lbs and not a blob could call me small. But most people should be 140-180lbs. A cruiserweight is a pretty big man!

 

About 135 lbs

 

Look at Breidis Prescott when he flattened Khan at lightweight, hardly what i would call a little man? Seems like fairly average sized guys can fit into these weight classes.

But yeah I would say 147-154 is good a shout. Also you yanks are either too fat or in the gym too much pumping iron. Cause in the UK average sized guys would be 11 or 12 ish stone, and your average height isn't any more than ours.

 

I'm over 6', but I'm pretty sure 99.9999999999999% of pro fighters could whup my ass so, 108.
