What would be my natural fighting weight?

[deliveryman]

I've started boxing very casually.

I'm not in the greatest of shape, but I do workout a bit.

Right now I walk around at 162. I'm 5'8, and in the past weighed as much as 190.

I think with some effort I would be able to make 135, then Rehydrate back into the 150's? I got into an argument with a friend of mine who said my natural weight would be Welterweight.

Anyway recent picture below, just taken about 5 minutes ago (yes I'm well aware I'm not the fittest person on earth. I acknowledge I still have work to do, and am still soft in areas).

I guess 135 would be a good weight class for you. As long as you don't kill yourself to make weight. It's all good. A lightweight rehydrating to the 150s by fight night is a little too much though.

Yeah. I'd be a pretty big Lightweight. I think I'd be be able to make it, but you don't know how your body will react if you have never done it before.

Maybe Junior Welter, but I'd be a small Welterweight for sure.

135 maybe, but I walk around 162 too..but can easily make 145 by workingout and not eating like a pig. It all depends on how your body reacts.

Based on your complete lack of muscle tone and receding hairline, i would say that you are either a LW or a JWW.

You look Marquez-ish.

I'm 5,8 and I walk around like 10 stone about 140 pounds which is around Light Welter.

I myself want and probably am around the Lightweight limit right now, you seem pretty wide maybe that contributes to the weight so much.

complete lack of muscle tone? =( That's a little harsh, I do have SOME definition. I want to shed another 10lbs of excess fat.

Umm.... do you see your body? Its flatter than a anorexic chic. No ab lines whatsoever. You have NO MUSCLE TONE.

140 lbs. I reckon that would be the best weight for you

Although I don't have abs, I do have some upper body / chest definition.

And my abs are starting to come through.
