Can someone please list all of the weight classifications in boxing as identified by the most recognised industry body/federation?
If you could explain them in order from lightest to heaviest that would be a bonus!

Eight weight groups were singled out, which are recognized worldwide:
flyweight - less than 112 pounds (50,8kg)
bantamweight - 118 pounds (53,5kg)
featherweight - 126 pounds (57,2kg)
lightweight - 135 pounds (61,2kg)
welterweight - 147 pounds (66,7 kg)
middleweight - 160 pounds (72,6 kg)
light-heavyweight - 175 pounds (79,4 kg)
heavyweight - over 175 pounds (79, 4 kg).
The above weight groups should be observed in all the world and national competitions. If the boxer's weight exceeds the weight provided in the specified weight group, which he represents, he should be given the time to fit his weight in accordance to the accepted standards. If he fails the fight might be abolished. If after the Champion's title awarding it becomes known that the boxer's weight exceeded the one specified by the weight classification, the title of Champion would be taken away from that boxer.
Two additional weight groups such as "junior-lightweight" - 130 pounds (59 kg) and "junior-welterweight" - 140 pounds (63, 5 kg) were registered in the USA in the 1920s (the term "junior" doesn't have any relation to the age) in boxing. These weight classifications were adopted for boxers, who couldn't fit the above eight weight groups.
The great popularity of the professional boxing resulted in actual existence of 17 weight groups. The World Boxing Council (WBC) introduced the following weight classification for boxers:
cruiserweight - 195 pounds (88,5 kg)
super middleweight - 165 pounds (74,8 kg)
super welterweight - 154 pounds (69,9 kg)
super bantamweight - 122 ponds (55,3 kg)
super flyweight - 116 pounds (52,6 kg)
light flyweight - 110 pounds (49,9 kg)
straw weight - 105 pounds (47,6 kg)

Of course women box now as well.
The weight divisions are the same for women except that there is no cruiserweight division.
With women anything 175 lbs. and over is considered the Hevey weight division!
