    Overall consensus from year dot.

    1. Heavyweight
    2. Welter
    3. Middle
    4. Lightheavy
    5. Feather
    6. Lightweight
    7. Bantam
    8. Fly

    Would this list be the general rule?

    I'd swap middle and welter, and I'd put lightweight between welter and lightheavy

    Probably varies a lot by geographic location. Lighter weight classes have way more prestige in Asia than the US for example.
