Answer
Hi Daniel,

Thanks for the question.

The heavyweight limit in amateur boxing is 201 pounds. All athletes above that weight are Super Heavyweights.

You can view the entire USA Boxing rulebook online at www.usaboxing.org.
It has all the weight divisions and technical rules for amateur boxing.

I hope this helps!

Thanks again for writing :)

Regards,
Lian
