bantamweight |ˈbantəmˌwāt|
noun
a weight in boxing and other sports intermediate between flyweight and featherweight. In boxing it ranges from 112 to 118 pounds (51 to 54 kg).
Probably shortened from this rather than the chicken. It's also an anagram for Batman, but I don't think that was it either.
I do have a Stetson bantam - probably the same one you posted the other day. It's a very nice firm, thin felt unlined hat. I'll have to give mine a wear soon on one of those warmer winter days.
