since the terminology cahnged a number of times throughout the history of the olympics, i took the 2nd highest weight to be heavyweight and the unlimited weight to be super heavyweight. the first time they used the term heavyweight in the olympics as a weight division was in 1984 - when there were more divisions thyan there had been in previous years (2 more than in 1960). if you want to be picky - then take the frazier answer at the bottom of the posting.....
