I was going to ask this same question. I know the 140lb IBO belt and Ring belt won't be on the line as its above the 140lb limit.
I'm not sure were the sanctioning bodies stand on this issue. Technically, it would be under 147 so the belt could be on the line, but if the contractual weight is not 147 then I'm unsure if they'd sanction it. If it was the Ring belt (which it won't be), then it would be on the line because Hopkins fought Wright at 170 for the Light-Heavy ring belt.
