- Super-cruiserweight
A Super Cruiserweight is a professional boxer who is too heavy for the
Cruiserweight division and not big enough to compete well in theHeavyweight Division. It should not be confused with theLight Heavyweight division.Super Cruiserweights weigh approximately 190lbs to 220lbs (86kg to 100kg) - although there is no general consensus on the upper and lower weight limits. This division encompasses what most governing bodies consider to be heavier
Cruiserweight fighters and lighterHeavyweight s. It has been introduced because of the growing number of Heavyweights who are well in excess of their division's minimum (200lbs) and the likelihood of mismatches between men who are considerably different in size, but are both 'Heavyweight'.

World Boxing Federation andInternational Boxing Association do have champions and produce rankings. No fighter of renown has fought for a Super-Cruiserweight title - instead, many fighters listed in 'Super-Cruiserweight' rankings work betweenCruiserweight andHeavyweight , such as Cruiserweight world championDavid Haye , who must lose weight to meet limits of the Cruiserweight division while his natural body weight makes him small for a modernHeavyweight .
