I'm 5'7 and walk around 150. I personally don't believe in draining down so much to make weight. Just fight at a natural, in-shape weight, and let your skills carry the day.
178 when i hit the opens in the amateurs. probably cruiserweight to start my pro career. then up to HW for the big bucks. if i were in boxing shape i'd probably only be 200 lbs, but HW is where the money and the glory is at, and that's where i'd want to fight.
could you get down to 175 now, or are you talking about being a lifelong boxer and keeping the weight down that way?
i'm not six feet and i couldn't get down to 175 without removing a leg. maybe i could do it five years ago, but even then it's a stretch, and i'd have to be a lifelong fighter.
