    I walk around at around 59-61. I either just make the weight easy or just not eat much on the day of the weigh in untill i've weighed in. I thought weaver boxed at 57?
    What about yourself?

    You're overshooting on the upper limits of those heights. Yeah there are 6'2 welters, but the Tommy Hearns of the world are exceptions.

    A 6 foot lightweight? That dude must look like a stick!

    Most guys I've met around 130-140 lbs are 5'6" to 5'8", but 6'. Whoah!

    Exactly. Think of how tiny Amir Khan looked at 135 and he's 5'10. Another two inches? Your chicken legs would make Roger Mayweather look like he has Tyson's lower body.

    See Breadis Prescott when he was a Lightweight, he did not look healthy.

    Paul Williams looks quite thin, even at 154lbs to me.

    And they are pro's so they rehydrate and dnt actually weight that on fight night. I meant for amateurs? Funny how most amateurs who turn pro box at 2 weight class's lower then they did as amatuers
