wtf does shoe size gotta do with it? lol

anyway **** man it depends on your frame and how you handle a cut if you wanna go so low you gotta diet slowly and lose weight natural or else you will **** up your heart man.

id say its best for you to go to 160-168 just to be healthy and then go to 154 and 147 the following year do it slowly man so you adjust dont want your heart to fail.

181 is too big to get down to 147 imo. Try middleweight.

If i start now i have til august, am 182 now. I hope thats enough time and i wont be drained and i will still be healthy. i dont believe in crash dieting! so if i start now i should be ok?

Am not strong enough for middle, and would feel slugish, also tommy hearns walked around at 178, and made welter and he had the frame of a super middle. Also my friend is 6 foot 2! and makes welter, and doesnt really cut much weight! and has a good chin, i dont know how he does it the guy is a freak.

Can't say just on that information. There are a lot of factors to cutting. One good indicator is to get a body fat reading along with a hydration reading.

Tyson is 5'11 and he wouldn't have made SMW because his frame and he was big boned. Then you have guys like DLH and Tito who are 5'10-5'11 and they made LW and WW for years.

I would say get in really good shape and see how much you weight. If your around 155lbs-157lbs then you should be able to dry out and rehydrate to WW with todays 24-36hour pre-fight weight-ins.

just fight guys your size, when you start working out weight will come off and eat somewhat healthy and thats what you should fight at. no need to drain yourself for some fights that dont even matter, its not like you will be going pro so why would you want to do that to your body.

Oh and im sure it can be done, just look at Paul Williams, Diego, JLC, but im just saying in the amateurs its probably not something you want to put your body through.

lets not talk about jlc and making weight
