what weight should I fight at 147,154, or 160????

If you are a natural welter and you walk around at that weight, fight at 140 or 135. You can cut that weight trust me. You will have such a reach and power advantage it will be sick. Thats if you can box and take a shot. I am 5'11"(6 when I wake up because the spine relaxes while you sleep), and I used to fight at 130 when I was 21. I could make that with some weightcutting no prob. Problem was I had almost zero leg muscle and got knocked down alot

You are gonna have your pro debut but you don't know what weight you are fighting at? Yeah ok. of course I know what weight Im fighting at. I told u 147, but my question was after my pro debut should I stay at 147 or move up. that was my question

You are gonna have your pro debut but you don't know what weight you are fighting at? Yeah ok.

I walked around at 160+ naturally but with running and dieting. I fought at 139 and never got bigger than 145. I am only 5'5 but with huge legs and a muscular body. 170 is my best weight with the size of my legs. At 139 I was sickeningly skinny and I had my bodyfat dangerously low. It was an advantage though. Go for 147 or lower even.

stay at your natural weight

i mean im a natural 147 welterweight im 6 feet tall. and alot of ppl tell me Its better if i fight at 147 because im a big welterweight and I have good punching power and will have a big advantage over alot of welters. but i dunno right now Im walkin around at like 150-152lb's. should I just make my debut at 154lb's. or even 160???? any advice???? I'll be honest... I haven't even read your post or any of the responses.. yet just want to comment... I logged in to your thread and wanted to welcome you to the BoxingScene with a beautiful RED Karma.. just for a fucked up name like that! However I wasnt surprised that you're already Red and you have a Star rating as one. Boxing does not need any white hopes and neither does this site. I recommend you start over and with a different name this time :boxing:

i dont even remember when i weighed 122lbs...

Are you the next Gerry Cooney?

dude fight at a higher weight class man. No offense but 122 is a kind of pussy weight class. Im 150 right now and only Plan On moving up.

yeh ur prolly rite. maybe around 2-3 inch advantage on average

haha i cant imagine my self fighting at 122. I would win every fight by 1st round death.

I'm pretty sure I could get down to featherweight easily and then drain my fluids I might make 122. I'd be fighting little midgets.

well at 122. thats pretty low. 5'7, i mean a little advantage i guess, but 5'4 is about the average height in those low weights. like 122, 126.

I'm 5"7 and I walk around at 135. I'm not in shape at all. How far u think I could get down to? Maybe 122 at Jr. Featherweight? How much of a height advantage would I have at 122? (5"7)

No question 147. Unless you can make 140.

I would fight at the lightest weight I could comfortably make.

Both of you move up to Heavyweight and save the division please.

me and you are in teh same boat...except i'm walking around at 154. i drop down to welterweight (147) for my last fight though. i think it's probably best especially since you're so tall you have that reach advantage. What i say is, if you train to fight like an outside fighter, then you should weigh as little as possible so you can fight the shorter guys. By the way, i crushed my opponent with a TKO in the first 30 seconds of the third because i used my reach. It definatly recomend you dropping down to 147. It has huge advantages.
