How is it possible that a grown man weights 147 or less?

That's why it's probably very easy for flyweight to have success as a boxer, because there's so few adult men that size, so if you're that big and take up boxing, you'll probably become well known

You would be surprised at the little mans speed and skill as he's bouncing his gloved fists off of your skull.

And amazed at how tough the sport is once you turn pro.

Because they're just small men.

I mean look at flyweights and bantamweights, they're grown men the size of a 13 year old girl how many men do you see in public like that? Almost never. You could walk around all day and maybe see 1 or 2.

How many sports cater for men the size of little girls? It's really boxing and horse racing.

It's much harder to have success as a fighter around 168 than is flyweights who are basically a tiny minority of midgets.

The average USA female is 170 pounds! Now they are mostly over weight. The average american male weight 197.6 pounds. That is over wight too.

Flyweights, bantam weight and featherweights are what I refer to " fighting horse jockeys. " No man, in shape or out of shape should this weight. Maybe one of 1,000 men I know are.

IMO boxing need to consolidate its lower wight classes. Make them below 115 lbs, 122 lbs and 135 lbs. That is it. No ludicrous super or jr division below 147.

Most lose about 20 lbs from what they compete over the course of weeks.

I've said this before but being in the shape that you see on fight night is not one that you can maintain for long. If you weigh 180 and you are in very good shape as you say then you could more than likely make 160 at a minimum.

Training for speed and endurance will naturally force you to not hold as much muscle mass. Couple that with strict dieting and you are going to start entering unhealthy levels of being lean. That's why I say the shape you see them on during fight week is not one that they can maintain for more than a week. Most will gain that 20 lbs back over two to three weeks just by not dieting and working out as much.

They're teenie tiny manlets, I could make 154 on a scale for 2 seconds if I had to for money then rehydrate at 5'11.

Benny the Jet Urquidez was 5ft 6 and pretty bad man and he weighed about 147. If youre 5ft 6 with small build then weighing light is inevitable.

[Combat Talk Radio]

Man, again, I am not fat.

Are you convincing me all guys can make 150 if they are in shape?

Canelo is as high as me, but he is about 10+ years younger. can he make 150?

If I was 5-6 years younger, I would probably make 168 weight limit by rehydration.

Canelo COULD make 150, but not healthy. See Vergil Ortiz.

You’re mixing up MADE weight vs. SUSTAINED weight.

Someone 180 can get that low, just not sustained, and they’d be weak as hell. But they can get there long enough for a fight. It’s just not healthy.

[4truth]

You should consider your own weight, if you suddenly lost enough fat to be about 6-7 % bodyfat and then lost about 10% of your remaining body weight to dehydration.

That's not really my point


my point is that it's not that difficult to become successful as a flyweight if you're that size because there's so few men that size. like I said, I could walk around my city all day probably seen one or two men that weigh 115 pounds and 5'3".

there's only 29 professional male flyweight boxers in USA, that's not even one for every state, that's how rare is to find a man of that size. so if you are a man that is the size of a 12 year old girl and decide to become a professional boxer in the flyweight division, you might automatically be number one in your state.

no disrespect to these midgets but it's much easier to become a successful flyweight boxer than it is to become a successful middleweight boxer, purely based on the fact there so few of them because they are basically a freak show.

Roll back the clock 100 years and these midgets would be fighting in a tent in a travelling circus but for some reason we've decided it's a good idea to make it into a real sport for them.


in my opinion , anything under featherweight should be put on a bill somewhere else with wheelchair boxing or something

it's not that difficult to become successful

Experience the sport and your mind will change with that comment.

There is nothing easy about this sport.

I agree that there is less competition in the lighter divisions, but that does not make it easy.

Not in any way.

Primo Carnera was 6'- 6" and considered a giant less than 100 years ago.

The smaller weights would have been more common during that time.

That’s why I don’t care about under 160 lb weight classes



you are either a genetic subhuman

or a crack baby



there’s 0 chance you would be a healthy baby and be under 160 lbs and under 5’10 as a grown adult.
It’s like these people are handicapped.


I don’t watch midget wrestling for a reason. It’s cruel to find entertainment in subhumans torturing each other.
