Should i fight at welterweight?

Question

im 5ft 6 and weigh 140lbs, but im still thin

is it possible for me to fight at welterweight

Answer 1

naw just fight at jr welterweight. especially if youre young and an amateur boxer. you will grow, and in my case all of my early bouts were for experience and skill. i walked around at about 152 pounds, and i just fought at that. worry about the weight later when it actually matters.

Answer 2

Most Likely Junior Welterweight unless you are still growing

Answer 3

Well if your naturally 140 than that is the ideal weight for you to fight at. As long as ur not trying to lose or gain weight and stay at 140, than thats ur natural body weight. Also depends how old you are, if ur under 18 ur probably still gonna grow more.

Answer 4

It's normal to fight below your walking weight. Once you've trained you'll probably fight at 130 or 135. Btw 140 is light welterweight, not welterweight.

Answer 5

You have lots of margin to gain and still fit into welter.

Depending on your age and how much you will grow,  you could be a natural welter, or maybe you will stay at 140.
