    In your opinion.

    Could it be argued that it wasnt until his super bout with Oscar?

    The media makes fighters "elite". Is there a fking blueprint or a guideline for an elite fighter in your HUMBLE opinion? Genardo Hernandez would be elite too many, Corrales would be elite, Castillo, Victariano Sosa was a very good fighter who didn't fight long enough for the typical "normal" boxing fan to know who he was.

    Genaro Hernandez, who was in the Ring Top 20 when they met.

    I never really considered Genaro to be a great fighter though.

    He was comprehensively beaten by the two best opponents he fought. What were his best wins? How good do you rate those wins?
