The weight divisions listed in the first section are the traditional divisions. Those eight were prominent and continued to be at the forefront of everyone's minds even as new weight classes were introduced. Most of the newer weight classes took quite some time to develop real traction and legitimacy in the sport.
These "tweener" weight divisions, mostly recognized with either a Super or Junior in front of their names, sprouted up at various times and reached legitimacy at others. Still, many have been prominent for about half a century, while the newest additions like Cruiserweight, Strawweight and Super Middleweight have rounded out the professional boxing scene in just the last 20+ years.
Additionally, as mentioned above, many of these divisions were indeed created with the Walker Law in 1920, however were never utilized or recognized until many years later. In some instances there were few if any title fights or sanctioned championships and then the divisions were revived in spurts in the late 1950s and early 1960s

Floyd fighting Canelo @ 152 after he fought Cotto at 154 was pretty pathetic and shouldn't even count...Canelo is still an undefeated fighter under Floyd's standards for Cotto v. Pac lol...
Pac has never fought above 150 and in that fight he weighed what 144-45? LOL...Anyone who thinks that Pac asking for a catch weight is hypocritical are just Floyd-worshiping simpletons...
LOL @ Floyd fans saying Pac is on PEDs and ducked Floyd for blood-testing...but now saying Pac is a hypocrite for demanding VADA testing lol...
With Floyd-man crushers..I just can't... lolComment
