	Light welterweight - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In amateur boxing, the light welterweight division is a weight class division for fighters weighing up to 64 kilograms.
		For the 1952 Summer Olympics, the division was created when the span from 54-67 kg was changed from three weight classes (featherweight, lightweight, and welterweight) to four.
		Perhaps the most famous light welterweight champion is Sugar Ray Leonard, who went on to an impressive professional career.

		Here are my rankings of the many top Light Welterweights today, and the best possible match ups for the division.
		Zab Judah, who has clearly shown this year that he is not the best welterweight in the world, may end up moving back down in weight, and if the money is right, Floyd Mayweather, who walks around at 147 pounds, could come down for a guest appearance at any time.
