    Super Lightweight sounds the weirdest of all. It sounds like it is lighter, not heavier than Lightweight.

    I like to go with the "super" distinction because it allows me to refer to a "Superflyweight" division which is pretty much the most badass **** possible.

    Most terminology here mix it up really, usage probably dependent on what sounds better/easier


    Super bantam
    Super feather
    Junior welter
    junior middle
    super middle


    Maybe for the WBA and WBC they found that it was more consistent to keep it at "Super" since the introduction of the super middleweight class

    Depends on the Organisation as was previously stated.
    I always call it Junior MiddleWeight and dislike it being called Super WelterWeight

    Would you rather be called junior or super? I'm rolling with super. It sounds more professional to me. Light also sounds better than junior.
