    i walk around at about 210 but i am unfit at the moment so i could easily get down to 200 so my fight weight would be cruiser weight.i am just under 6ft so i would not want to fight at hw.
    what would your fight weight be if you were a boxer now?

    Cruiserweight

    Im about 6`1
    190 lbs

    LHWT if I wanted to drain myself & be one of the biggest in the division but **** that, you should fight at your natural weight IMO.

    i'm vastly out of shape right now... age put on a few pounds. My high school weight was 145 lbs. and now 8 years later i'm up to about 175 lbs. In theory I would have to get down to welterweight to even think about being competitive.

    I would say WW or Jr WW.. I'm 5'8 and walk around at like 165 170 sometimes but I'm short so I think WW or Jr WW would be the best weight for me... I think I don't know...

    6' 1+1/2" 189 pounds

    Would be a light heavy after a 3 month fight camp I reckon.

    Having said that, with dehydrating/rehydrating I would probably be a super middle

    I would, no doubt, be a heavyweight. 6'3", 245lbs. But, I would not be interested at fighting at heavy. The division is so boring. I would prefer cruiser, but, I would have to kill myself to make that weight, since I am a natural heavyweight.

    I'd be floating between LHW and CW but probably go for the history and prestige of LHW

    5ft 7 - heavily built like a rugby player, 168lbs.

    Boxing training and cutting out booze would see me around the 147 mark.

    im in pretty good shape .. 5'10'' 170. pretty cut up with solid arms and shoulders. anyone who says you fight at your natural weight or you only lose around 5-10lbs to fight obv doesn't understand how boxing works. i would fight at 140, or the MOST 147. If i were to fight at my natural weight i would be battling the likes of dawson, johnson, kessler, calzaghe?!?! are you kidding me?! you lose mad weight in training to fight, that's just how it works. ex. cotto just recently stated that he walks around a 170, and he fights in the 140's. if you think you could walk into a ring at your natural weight and compete you a newbie to the sport.
