Super welterweight
Limit: 154 lb / 69.9 kg
The first "junior" division to be sanctioned (WBA, 1962). Super welterweight (154 lb) is currently structured around the 6'5" reach of Sebastian Fundora — the tallest world champion in modern boxing — and the breakout star Xander Zayas. The class is best remembered, though, for the 1980s Hearns–McCallum–Norris–Curry quartet and the 2000s Trinidad–De La Hoya–Mayweather–Mosley quadrangle.
