    Most of you guys actually would fight one (posiibly two) weight class below what is being posted. Given your age, height and current weight. I'm 5"10 and walk at 155. During training I go down to 143, so I know I'd be fighting at LW (130-135)

    I'm Cruiser the only way i could make LHW is if i cut off my leg :nut
    Seriously i would have to lose way to much muscle to make it and i'd have to cut a little weight to make cruiser around 5lbs

    From 17 to 21 I competed in 160 at 6'2

    Now I grew to 205 and would probably try to cut down to light heavyweight. Going to be sad seeing the muscle go, but It's worth it, having to fight guys like Silakh doesn't inspire me to stay at cruiser
     
  4. i'm about 5 10 and i can prolly make 147.

    I'm hovering around 225 pounds right now. If I was in good fighting shape, I'd be around 200. I'd have to lose some muscle to get below that, but for my height, it'd probably be best to try for cruiserweight (not that I ever intend on fighting again amateur or professional). I'd be drained at 175 or below, and would display a disgraceful Glass Jaw most likely.

    Probably 135-147. My natural weight was about 129-130, but I started hitting the weights and gained 40+ pounds. I'd mostly spar with heavyweights too around that time too and I loved going toe to toe with them I was an aggressive on the inside was strong for my size taller guys nightmare think Pryor something like that. Bodywise probably similar to prime Duran. Not the biggest or strongest, just had a great combination of everything. If I tried it NOW, probably make 154. Probably get weight drained. :patsch:lol:

    Welters & middles in great numbers, heavies not far behind. I'm not judging here, but I suspect a couple of the 21 heavies could have selected the 10th option. :D

    190 cm 80 kg, something like 176 lbs i guess but i could make 75 kg(165lbs), and i would take Emanuel Steward to coach me i need good jab, i guess i would be little taller than other guys in my division.
