    Middle. I'd rather be a welter though. That's where it's at right now.

    I'm a little over 6ft and the last time I weighed my self 2-3 weeks ago I am 165 lbs. I would try for 154 but 160 and 168 are more realistict.

    5'7 143 atm. Broad shouldered, big legs so I could not go below 130 no matter how hard I tried.

    6'1 & 185-190 lb ... I like LHW but I cant make it, so there would be definitely cruiser.

    Probably at 135 or even 130.. I'm about 5'10, 145-150lbs.. I use to play a lot of sports and work out, but really I've just been workin' now which is framing houses so I do keep in shape somewhat.. Cigarettes have slowed me down too, but I do wanna' start working out again and get in real fit shape..

    140 lbs for me. I'm 5'8 and I'm currently an Olympic weightlifter. Last time I weighed my self I was at 146.5 and I honestly cannot go all the way down to 135.I'm actually trying to gain weight, and reach the limit of my divisions which I think is 152lbs. That way I wont be giving away any pounds like I've done before.

    I'm 5'9 and about 140 pounds. I'm generally skinny and 140 is already in shape for me.

    Well, in weight lifting my weigh division is from 137-152. As of now I'm just trying to get to somewhere around 152. But if I were to box I'd fight at junior welter since I think I would be more effective there.

    EDIT: If you meant why dont I go all the way to 154 in weightlifting it's because the weigh in's are the morning of the competition, and the less weight I have to cut better. But two pounds aren't really hard to lose. I just have to wait and see how far up I'm able to go, since my coach says my frame is for the 169lbs weight division (olympic weightlifting, not boxing)
