Can someone explain to aboutfkntime

[stealthradon]

correct, the divisional limit for middleweight is still 160

155 is a catchweight

Catchweight in the middleweight area.

Every single boxing organisation says that above 154 to 160 is MW.
Every.single.one

[stealthradon]

I chose to be incorrect and still be stupid and wrong, and they didn't accept my stupidity as correct. I did everything I could. I even insulted them.

Corrected that for you.

[Vadrigar.]

No, the upper limit is 160. If you go over 160, it's no longer MW

You're missing the point. For a division to be considered middleweight it has to have a limit of 160 pounds. A limit of 155 is not middleweight it's catchweight.

No, that's middleweight.
Just like 156, 157, 158,159,159½, 159¾...

Just like 156, 157, 158,159,159½, 159¾...

Wrong. If those numbers are limits then it's not middleweight it becomes catchweight. For example a limit of 155 is a catchweight.

There are 17 weight categories universally recognized. There is a proposal to unify all names as some divisions are called differently by some groups and this by itself creates confusion. The 17 categories are:



Weight limit
(lb / kg) WBC WBA IBF WBO
unlimited Heavyweight Heavyweight Heavyweight Heavyweight
200 / 90.7 Cruiserweight Cruiserweight Cruiserweight Junior heavyweight
175 / 79.4 Light heavyweight Light heavyweight Light heavyweight Light heavyweight
168 / 76.2 Super middleweight Super middleweight Super middleweight Super middleweight
160 / 72.5 Middleweight Middleweight Middleweight Middleweight
154 / 69.9 Super welterweight Super welterweight Junior middleweight Junior middleweight
147 / 66.7 Welterweight Welterweight Welterweight Welterweight
140 / 63.5 Super lightweight Super lightweight Junior welterweight Junior welterweight
135 / 61.2 Lightweight Lightweight Lightweight Lightweight
130 / 59.0 Super featherweight Super featherweight Junior lightweight Junior lightweight
126 / 57.2 Featherweight Featherweight Featherweight Featherweight
122 / 55.3 Super bantamweight Super bantamweight Junior featherweight Junior featherweight

108 / 49.0 Light flyweight Light flyweight Junior flyweight Junior flyweight
105 / 47.6 Minimumweight Minimumweight Mini flyweight Mini flyweight


Every fight is scheduled to a certain weight category . For a fight to be recognized under such weigh category both boxers must make the weight within the limit of the division in the official weigh in ceremony.



Catch weight – This term is used for specific agreements reached by the 2 fighters and is an exclusive commercial contract which has nothing to do with the regulations of boxing.



There are 2 scenarios in which catch weight fights have been scheduled



A-. World title fight scheduled to x division in which the fighters agree to have a limit of how much they can weight . For example a fight scheduled at welterweight which the limit is 147 lbs. and the fighters agree on weighing 144 maximum. For boxing regulation the fight is within the 147 category, so it is an official welterweight fight.

A catchweight at 155 is not a middleweight fight. End of story. No if and but.
