Class Description
Super cruiserweights weigh approximately 210 lbs to 250 lbs (90.72 kg to 113.6 kg)—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 lighter heavyweights. It has been introduced because of the growing number of heavyweights who are well in excess of their division's minimum (200 lbs) and the likelihood of mismatches between men who are considerably different in size, but are both "heavyweights".
No major sanctioning body currently recognises this division, although the minor International Boxing Association does have a champion and produces rankings.

“The type of fig leaf which each culture employs to cover its social taboos offers a twofold description of its morality. It reveals that certain unacknowledged behavior exists and it suggests the form that such behavior takes.”
—Freda Adler (b. 1934)
