    What is your walking around weight? And what weight do you fight at and how long does it take you to lose the weight?

    Be interesting to hear the answers.

    250. Trying to get down to more like 245 for my first fight. Since I'm clearly a natural (super)heavyweight I really don't have to cut much weight, just try to get in the best shape that I can.

    I used to fight at 135, and walk around at 140 or so. Now I fight at 140 pounds and usually weigh any where in the range of 145 to 157. I just can't make 130 any more without serious compromise in strength, and health. I don't know weather it's because I'm getting older or what. I'm 5'10 1/2 though. I think If I were to try and fight back at 130 pounds it would f'ing kill me. I feel much better, and healthier at a higher weight now. I always try and stay pretty close to fighting weight because it's just easier over all.
    I would also suggest not trying to shoot for a weight your naturally not.

    walk around at 75kg (165lbs) and fight any where between 68kg (149lbs) to 72kg (158lbs) . My prefered fight weight is 70kg. My mauy thai trainer wants me to fight at 68kg, for 68kg annd 70kg division in massive, im 6'0 so always have a height advantage and still feel strong at 70kg.

    66-65 kg, supposed to be a light welterweight, or super-lightweight whatever (64 kg). Fought my last (and first) fight at 69 kg, started boxing at 76 kg...
    But my trainer wants me to fight at 64 kg so I'll have a good height advantage (I'm 1m76)

    When was fighting I fought between 118 and 125, but at that time my walk around was 125-128 (ie, lost way less weight at the higher weights).

    Right now I am 33 years old and weigh 137-139, I haven't fought in a while but I think 130 would be possible in a few months of training, but probably not lower.

    I'm 178-181 (6'0) right now but I'm in bad shape. When I'm healthy/training I walk around at 168-170.

    The plan is to get down to a walking weight of 163ish and fight at 165. I want to fight in tournaments at 152 (if I can make the weight) and other fights at 155-165.

    165 I could make easily on a weekend's notice if I was training regularly; 152 will take a lot of work (at 165 I look athletic, at 155 I'd be shredded and still have to dry out).
