    Yey but you said you walk around at 160 most fighters weighing in at 147 jump to almost that weight sometimes more in one day and still come in looking ripped to shreds. Im telling you from experience ive been around figters and fought myself , you might think you cant cut anymore but for the weigh in you will . You have to realize that you would be training super intense literally doing this for a living, you will have even less body fat than you do now.
    Like i said earlier i look in damn good shape when i weighed 170(im 195 now) but running 5 to 7 miles a day and training intensely for 6 to 8 hrs 6 days a week,along with eating a strict diet. My weight would surely go down to a ripped 154. My 3 and 4 days of weight training and 30-40 minutes of Cardio(or whatever it is you do) is nothing compared to how competetive pros train and you will surely come in at a much lower weight than you think.

    when i was am fighting (last fight i was 17, 20 now) i was at Feathweight (57kg) made it without the slightest bit of trouble, was easy for me....

    these days most likely be at Light Welterweight (64kg) coz i without a doubt couldnt make 57 anymore... 60kg for the lightweights maybe bout i dont think i would

    I'm 6'1 tall.

    I'd be a cruiserweight.

    6'3" 230lbs out of shape. I guess I could slim down to Cruiser or turn fat into muscle at Heavy.

    I'm 5.10 and walking around at 135 lbs. I can make 145 easily and fight Cotto at that catchweight, I think 151 lbs would be possible too.. Margaritto could fight me at that catchweight :D

    Welterweight. Maybe after a while if I feel I could go lower I'd try jr.welterweight, but if I were to start training to fight right now, welterweight would be the ideal weight for me.

    I'm 6'0 about 200lbs, muscular build, big arms and shoulders, i'd say that i would campaign at light heavy, but with my stamina issues i only have 5 to 7 good minutes in a street fight and in the streets with no cardio this is a long time trust me, so i think i would stay away from any 3 min 10 or 12 round fights.

    Right now HW 6'3 225. I'd be pretty small at HW though no way could I cut 25 pounds and get down to CW.

    I'm 5'11 and walk around bang on 154. I'm 24, been boxing for a few years but never fought and go to the gym a few times a week. Thing is, I'm also a distance runner and maybe average about 45 miles a week...so not really sure whether I would gain or lose weight if I was doing more boxing focused training :huh.

    Doubt I could get below light-middleweight, so guess I would be a light-middleweight or middleweight!

    5'7'' 170lbs. In my teens and early 20's I mostly weighed 125-130lbs and sparred regularly with heavyweights. I think 135-147 would of been best for me. I don't go to the gym as much, but I hav better stamina than I had before. I don't know about power, but I work more on technique, defense, and combinations against MMA amateurs that just want to take your head off and rely on power too much. I think I'm more of a late bloomer, but 140-154 would be a dream to fight in right now.
