    i think if you are top 100 p4p, you are an elite fighter...dela hoya was a top 100 p4p before the pacquiao fight and i consider him elite at that time...jones was never a top 100 fighter when he fought calzaghe..the top 100 p4p most likely include the top 5 fighters in each division...yes, i consider all top 5 fighters in each division elite..deep divisions like 140 and 147 are full of elite fighters.. i consider the top 10 fighters in those division elite

    the thread is not about p4p elite, but boxing's elite fighters. i guess elite is synonymous to being world class

    An elite fighter is a fighter who could compete in any era and pretty much dominates the fighters he fights. We know an elite fighter when he is an active fighter usually. Pacman has that elite feeling about him. Hatton does a little.

    did not vote because it is none of those options, its about your performance and opposition, as well as how you rank in your division!

    Does the guy put in the kind of performances with which he would give most ATGs at his weight a good run for their money? Yes or No?

    If YES, then he is elite. If NO, then he ain't.

    ok, so it seems that you classified less than 20 active fighters of today as elite boxers...

    "Elite" means better than "world class", (by definition), dude! "Elite" means one of the very best ever. It means an absolute peak of performance. What's so hard to understand?:huh
