Until the introduction of the Cruiserweight division, the minimum weight was 175lbs.
Since the introduction of the Cruiserweight division, the minimum weight was 190lbs+.
However, most major sanctioning bodies - the organisations that supposedly provide regulation to the sport - have increased the Cruiserweight limit to 200lbs in the past year to 18 months - thus making the minimum weight for a heavyweight 200lbs +.
With fighters like Nicolay Valuev around at over 330lbs, it's hard to contemplate that heavyweight champions like Rocky Marciano weighed little more than 180lbs.

With the growing popularity of boxing, especially in the United States, weight classes other than the unlimited heavyweights emerged. These classes became popular as world championships were held at the new weights. Currently, there are eight major professional divisions: flyweight (up to 112 lb/50.8 kg); bantamweight (118 lb/53.5 kg); featherweight (126 lb/57.2 kg); lightweight (135 lb/61.2 kg); welterweight (147 lb/66.7 kg); middleweight (160 lb/72.6 kg); light heavyweight (175 lb/79.4 kg); and heavyweight (unlimited). In recent years there has been some recognition of junior weights, or between-weights, such as junior lightweight and cruiserweight.

The heavyweight classification in expert boxing is defined as all people weighing 201 kilos or extra. it is 14 stone 5 lb. Weighing one hundred seventy five to 2 hundred kilos places you interior the Cruiserweight classification. there is not any optimal weight for the heavyweight classification in expert boxing in comparison to interior the UFC.

191 lbs. The cruiserweight limit is 190 so once you hit 191 you're now in the heavyweight ranks.
