    Which weight do you consider not in lower weight classes anymore? 130? 135? 140?

    I've always thought it means lightweight and below, or maybe everything below lightweight, but I don't know if I've ever seen it precisely defined.

    It's one of those boxing terms that gets interpreted in a lot of different ways, I think.

    130 and below. 135 has traditionally been a high profile division

    I think Barrera, Morales and Hamed pretty much legitimized the FW division as a solid class for the current generation, below, the bantams and flys and straws surely don't sound that same, wrongfully of course. For me, FW was the class years back I rated as "the last solid division" and "the rest below", which is not the case anymore.
