    It all depends on who you're asking. Remember, size is relative.

    Well,I've seen a lot of boxers in person here in Vegas and I have to say small is sure relative. For example, I'm 5'8'' and about 130 lbs. Floyd looks no bigger than me in person, and I would definitely say he is smallish. Winky Wright had toothpick legs, and even though his upper body is broad he still isn't that big. Derrick Harmon, on the other hand, is freaking huge. That guy is tall and thick, I have no idea how he was making super middle or light heavy or whatever it was he was fighting at, because he walks around at well over 210. I guess 154, most welterweights don't look much bigger than me, and I am a small man.

    Im amazed your only 130lbs. arent you the same who used to post pics and vids (that being you in your avatar?) I mean, i understand you have low low low body fat but your also extremely muscular so im suprised you fit into 130lbs... i would have guess at least 140. at least.

    It all depends , I have been up close to a British superfeather champ who was 5 9 and probably 165 , but I have also met a supermiddle of the same height , who looked broader , but not that significant , I think its like any sport , men hold weight in different ways.

    As a rule the lower the weight the more active (and exciting) the fight IMO. Bantamweight and lower has produced many a great fight!

    Anyone below average height which is about 5ft9..guys who are 5ft8 I would see as short although I would never tell them this due to their rage issues

    Anyone else find LOTS of people LIE about their height???

    Im 6ft2 1/2 for sure ... measured by my dr for medical etc and plenty of men quite a bit shorter than me have told me they are like 6ft2/3/4
