At what weight do you not consider boxers to be small men anymore?

    Height is where it's at. PWill at Welter, or Celestino Caballero at SuperBantam aren't small at all.

    154 and over. Welterweights measure around the 5'7" - 5'9" mark and you can generally tell that, with some exceptions, they're smaller than the people around them.

    Light Midds with 5'10" Martinez and Winky Wright, that's just about the normal size.
    6' is already tall-ish.

    I'm 6 ft 1.1/2 and I'm probably taller than 85% of young man around here, then again, I don't live in the states.

    Probably WW. They weighin at 147, but some may walk around at 5'6-5'10 at 165, or 170.

    I voted 147, but I think some of the 140ers look big.

    I've always considered the boundary of the "big" and "small" divisions to be middleweight. Most of them are between 5-9 and 6 foot which I consider normal size for a man. Guys who are 5-8 and under are small, much over 6 foot are big.

    The official average height of US men is 5'9" and average weight of 189lbs. Then again average weight of a woman who is 5'4" is suppose to be 152lbs too, considering 1/3 of America is overweight I wouldnt go by those weights as being the optimum average weight.

    Most guys at WW are 5'9+ and would walk around 160+, low bodyfat and fit.

    Id say anythign below WW but it depends on who is watching I suppose. A 6'5" 250lbs man is gonna consider all men below CW "small men".

    Middleweight. I haven't been 160 since I was about 14 years old.
