I've never heard lightweight. How would you say this sentence and is lightweight correct?
He's much more of a lightweight than me. He can't hold his alcohol.
Thanks

Normally hear in the fields of wrestling and boxing, it can be used to indicate a person who isn't really very good at something. Compared to [ composer X ], [ composer Y ] is a lightweight indicates that Y is not as good as X, not as serious in his style, not as talented.
