5'9" ... current Lightweight. I'm a skinny dude, so if I was max buffed... prime Bantamweight. Surprises me that Sean O'Malley (the clown) is 5'11" and fights at Bantamweight. In comparison the current Flyweight and Strawweight champs are only 5'5".

So, we got any Super Heavyweights?

I'm 5'11 and 170 now, so Welterweight.  I bounce between 165 and 170 so I could make Super Lightweight easily.  In my prime youth I probably maxed at Middleweight with muscle.

I've been 155 but the most recent time was during chemo...

Fighters cut a bunch of weight.  They all weigh 10-40lbs more than what they fight at.  

I would have to cut a handful of lbs to make welterweight.   My biggest was almost light HW.  As soon as I saw 2 bills on the scale I started paying attention in my early 20s.  If I wanted to fight it would be at lightweight currently.

Supposedly the reason fighters don't weigh-in right as they enter the ring is because it could endanger the one's who cut too much weight and are totally dehydrated. But that's the only fair way to do it.

If fighters want to cut weight and risk it, that's their business. Perhaps they shouldn't be fighting at that weight class.
