    hmmm. you look around 5'8- 5'10. but also with a frame thats pretty filled out too- so im guesing your in youre mid twenties. with that in mind- i d say probably junior welterweight would be a good goal. i mean it looks like you re pretty lean- and couldve started even lighter- like lightweight- but probably not at this age. with that being said- if you fill out even more- and keep your speed- you could go junior middleweight i think. midleweight might be a bit big.

    so anywhere between 140-154.

    guys- obviously he s not a pro- but dont you guys like to have a weight goal in your mind, a weight class in mind, when youre training- as a goal and a yardstick- to compare your frame and body and weight? i know i do. im aroun 146- but i try and get myself down to 140- even though i dont compete- and compare myself to boxers at 140- to see how my progress is going- and how far i have to go. and for inspiration and motivation. human beings are most motivated by comptetiion and comparison.

    some of you guys- take the constructive out of constructive criticism. he s not even asking for crtique- hes just asking for a ****in number- and suddenly 20 freddie roaches come out of the trenches with boxing advice on how to hold his hands.

    ^ This is a training forum right? Where we critique others in the hopes that they can improve on any flaws in their technique (especially and particularly if they include a video).

    You do make a good point though. I walk around at 152-155 and even though I dont compete, in my mind I'm training to be the welterweight champ of the world.

    It depends, I can't really tell how tall you are. It looks like you're somewhere around 5'7-5'10. You also look like you're in your late 20's to early 30's and already in good shape. I would say welterweight, but since it's kind of hard to tell how big you are from a video I'll say it's somewhere around 140-154. Pretty sure you could have been a lightweight if you were younger and boxing from an early age.

    Wow, you are such a ***. Oh, and BTW, "light welter" would be 140, not 147 :)
