Question
If I weigh 145 pounds, what weight class would I fight in if I was a professional?

Answer
Phyllis,
As long as you do not exceed 147 pounds, you would fight in the welterweight division, but if for any reason you would drop to 140, you could fight in what is known as the junior welterweight or as some sactioning bodies call it, (super light weight division.)
Hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions.
