5.8 is probably average for light welter, a little small for welter. (amateur that is)

ok well...

Light flyweight/106 lbs
Flyweight/112 lbs
Bantamweight/119 lbs
Featherweight/125 lbs
Lightweight/132 lbs
Light welterweight/141 lbs
Welterweight/152 lbs
Middleweight/165 lbs
Light heavyweight/178 lbs
Heavyweight/201 lbs
Super heavyweight/201+ lbs

is that just for American standards, or internationally for amateur?

Because im 211 pounds(about 96kg) and am 6 foot 3, currently im bulking to reach about 230pounds, and then goin on a strict cut to reach 194pounds by end of next year.

I thought cruiser weight is 176 to 200 lb (90.7 kg), but if cruiser weight is only for professionals, then ill be ****ed if i dont make the cut.

Until about june next year i wont be doing boxing, because i wont be able to keep up a diet to get size and get fit at the same time, so i found it to better to get my size without risking it to cardio, and then hittin strong cardio prior to boxin, so i can be ready, lol sorry if this is a bit off topic, just thought i could contribute, anyway someone whos got professional/long amateur comptetition experience, id like to hear your comment

No? The number one p4p is Tischenko (lightweight), number 2 is Zou Zhiming (jr. flyweight), number 3 is Artayev (middleweight), and number 4 is Boonjumnong (light welterweight), and actually none in the top 10 is a welterweight.

based on this Van Trophy thing

last two winners are welterweights and each othe them was been beaten by others WW

well im about 157. should i make 152 or 165 for my first bout?

well first try to be comfortable with what you got dont push youself too much in the first try.

I didnt have a fight til now but that is the only advice i could give you. and it better to take more advice from you trainer

What does that have to do with a p4p list? You said the top4 p4p amateurs are welterweight. The Val Barker trophy hardly has anything to do with that. Oleg Saitov doesn't even box anymore, and Artayev is a middleweight now.

The p4p list for amateurs is here:

and there's not one WW on it.

You'd be wise to worry about amateurs first and forget about pro for a long time.
