Light heavyweight
In boxing, the division between heavyweight over 175 pounds (79.4 kg) and middleweight, 160 lb (72.6 kg). Throughout history this division's fighters have been overshadowed by the two more glamorous divisions it is sandwiched between. Nevertheless, the light heavyweight class has produced some of boxing's greatest champions; Archie Moore, Joey Maxim, Billy Conn, Antonio Tarver, Roy Jones Jr., Michael Spinks and Bob Foster-to name a few.
