My understanding is, 200 lbs. is the upper limit for heavyweight in Olympic-rules amateur boxing. That means your opponent could be anyone from 179 lbs. up to 200 lbs.

I think 179-200 is heavyweight and 200+ is super heavy. Cant remember exactly.

you are heavyweight in amature
200+ is super heavy
