    Yes. 5'8 isn't too small; but it ain't exactly a big Welter either.

    Scratch all that, I misread the whole post.. Thought you meant you were lighter now than before.

    You wouldnt be a small one, but not a big one either. I believe 5'9 is the average for welter, so your good.

    I dunno. I would say a few inches taller; still shy of 6' though. Demetrius Andrade, the USA 152lbs Olympian, is 6'1 and is considerably taller than his opponents.
