I'm a little curious being I got a little feedback on my first post.

I'm 5'5" and 140 lbs what class would you suggest?


EDITED TO ADD THIS:
Right now I'm at 151 lbs but that's only because I've been trying to gain weight the last 2 weeks.

If you're in shape Welterweight is perfect.

well at 140 you fall into the junior welterweight class...but it depends on what kind of shape youre in

Well I'm not in shape, I played football and baseball in high school and was on the weight lifting team but since then nothing. I do pushups and sit ups a little. So what you think?

How many IBS of body fat do you think you have?

IBS? I know I have about 10% body fat at most 12%

Sorry i ment pounds. Buy anyway 10-12 % is pretty good, if you do have fat you dont want do cardio every day. And compose a good diet, or follow one.

so you would say WW? What is the cut off for that? And how tall is Floyd and Cotto?

You are wayy too small for welterweight.

You are wayy too small for welterweight.

Too small or too short?:boxing:

Floyd May is 5 foot 7

And he fits in welter weight division, WW is 140-147.

I think at 140 you could easily come down to 135 with training properly....I'd suggest Lightweight.

So how am I too small? or Short?

too short.
you are really looking at more lightweight, infact most 5'5 guys do featherweight
but unfortunately you are too short for welter

ye i'm 5'4 and around 140 too. i'm going to try and cut down to 135 when my first fight comes around, but eating habits are a little tough to overcome. if your new and haven't had a fight yet like me, then don't focus on cutting weight too much and just focus on touching up your technique.

Short..............

Floyd is 5"8, but zab and cotto are 5"7. While paul williams is 6ft plus lol.

paul williams is a freak...lol..i'm 5'11" basicly mayb half an inch shorter..i fight at 140lb in amatuer..but as a pro would prob fight more 130..or lean up more and add muscle and stay at like 147

bit short for welterweight, depending on your build though, gavin rees is 5''3 and hes a light welter, id say trim down as much as you can without weakening yourself and you'll have your fighting weight.

woops! you forgot you were signed in as your alt there!

Also, Gavins a natural Lightweight, he was at Light-Welter cause he was fat.

hmm mate it all depends on your build really, like that futurechamp (suprisingly) said its all about build. im 5''2 or 3 and weigh about 7 stone , (then again im only 14) so im in fairly good fighting shape, im fighting in 6 weeks again. but you id say your pretty stockliy built but maybe you should trim down to lightweight. make sure to do it properly (no crash dieting) with a doctors help if possible. 135 is a good weight for you i'd say

Man ur to short im taller then u and im 130lbs thats super feather i think ur shud be featherwieght or super feather.
