You can estimate your prime body weight by maintaining roughly 5% body fat and doing only boxing-related exercises consistently for about a year and then you will have your answer. Unfortunately it's hard to figure out until after it's done and is totally dependent on one's self and weight class aim/decision. I'm not sure I'm giving you the answer you want, but that's how I figured the rules for ideal weight in the past.

There is no strict definition for optimal bodyweight. For me, it's the weight that I move best at and have good enough stamina to fight well for three rounds. Have never had my body fat measured, but 5% (see above) is extremely low. Competition bodybuilders aim for 2-4% and obviously you don't want to be like them.
