Default Which 140 Pounder(s) Do You Consider ELITE or Will Be ELITE (?)

Honestly, there's a lot of exciting match ups in the 140 pound division, but aside from Matthysse, no one appears to be elite. The only guy you can apply that title to is Bradley, but you can count Bradley (and ROIDquez) out as I believe they will campaign at welterweight.

I omitted kats that have gone to welter (Marcos and Devon).

The only elites are on the P4P list. But any top shark at 140 can make that list excluding Zab and probably Alvarado. Broner has a good chance to take over 140 in the near future. A dark horse worth mentioning is Mayfield. Jose Benavidez has potential.

Roidquez? Wouldn't that be more suitable for Alex Rodri(g)uez? And I thought "Pacroid" was awful. You've reached a new low.

Aside from Matthysse?

Wow is this guy overrated. You guys watch wins over Soto and Mike Dallas and all of a sudden, he's elite?

i think anybody in the 140lb division can be elite, its just about whether or not they fight each other. A lot of great match ups here and if they dont fight each other no one will be elite at 140

None of them. Mathysse is the pick of the bunch.

Did you leave out Manny "Pac-Man" Pacquiao since he's actually a true lightweight?
