    He's been the top dog and undefeated in his division for quite some time, we have to give it to him. Yeah, he's elite!

    do you realise that with your logic, a guy like Caballero is as big if not bigger than a prime Mike Tyson

    The problem with threads like this is people throw around terms like 'elite' without stating specifically what they mean.

    'Elite' means different things to different people.

    For me, Hatton is not elite, but he is world class.

    Yes,

    IMO, Elite fighters to me is any fighter within the top 3 to 5 at there weight.

    Some might be a bit more harsh when rating there elite guys but when you have on average over 1000 Pro figthers around the world at each weight the top 5 should be elite.

    For me the answer is that simple.

    If we say there are on average there are 1000 Pro Baseballers world wide in each position including MLB, Japan, AAA, AA, A and would you say the top 5 at each Position are elite.

    Of course they are.
