weight and class??

[JackBrown]

Would someone please explain to me the different weight classes for Mauy Thai, eg: heavyweight, lightweight etc. and what the person can weigh to fight in these different groups.
Are the groups the same for boxing and kickboxing?
If a person is offered a fight at say 80kg, but within the weight class can he be refused the fight? or do the weights have to be the same?
Thanks for any help given,
please excuse my ignorance I'm rather new at all of this.

Jockeyweight:53-54.9
Bantamweight:55-56.9
Featherweight:57-59.9
Lightweight:60-62.9
Junior welterweight:63-65.9
welterweight:66-67.9
Junior middleweight:68-72.4
Middleweight:72.5-75.9
Super middleweight:76-77.9
Light heavyweight:78-81.9?
Cruiserweight:82-85.9?
Super cruiserweight:86-89.9
Heavyweight:90-95
Super heavyweight:95+

I think these are about right although with the heavyweight division
its pretty much anything above 90 kg,
hope this helps
