Question
What weight divides middle, from heavy. Send me an answer, I am a new boxer.
To answer your question the way you asked it is no more than 160lbs. and more than 154lbs. is a middleweight, and technically the heavyweight division is anything over 190lbs. The weight classes are: straw, fly, bantam, feather, light, welter, middle, lightheavy, cruiser, and of course heavy. The weight classes all have sub weight classes too example Jr. feather, and then feather, Jr. Light, and then Light and so on.
Hope this helps,
Thanks,
Joe
