I always remember paperweight but it is the same as strawweight. Just to add to McG's list: In no instance can a fighter officially compete for a championship in a division lower than his weight class. Junior/Light Middleweight = Super Welterweight Junior/Light Welterweight = Super Lightweight Junior Lightweight = Super Featherweight Junior Featherweight = Super Bantamweight Junior Bantamweight = Super Flyweight Junior Flyweight = Light Flyweight Strawweight = Minimum Weight = Mini Flyweight = Paperweight These designations are used interchangeably, but in general: WBC, WBA and IBO use the 'Super' designation. IBF and WBO favour the 'Junior' designation. WBU uses a mixture of terms and adds a Super Cruiserweight class with a limit of 210 pounds. Note: A 'Catchweight' bout is intermediate between two weight classes. May 24 02, 6:35 AM
