Jumbled mass (6)

I believe the answer is:

welter

(Other definitions for welter that I've seen before include "A right mess of a boxing weight" , "Boxing weight or a state of turmoil" , "boxing weight or disorderly mix" , "Flounder" , "A real mess - or a boxing weight" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
