    GazOC, you are an elite poster.

    I also put Flint in this bracket, and a few others.

    Hamed only ever fought one "elite" and so according to PADDY1983 is not World Class

    And you have to be "elite" to be World Class

    So that means there are only one or two world class fighters in Hameds era and Hamed wasnt one of them

    Utter Garbage

    Calzaghe W UNA 12 Charles Brewer - World Class Win

    Simple as that

    Elite fighters are just so rare to fight as there are only a hanndul of them spread out through all divisions

    Hey!! I'm not getting into the Joe debate:yikes;), I just don't like the word in general or how its usually used on ESB to criticize boxers who have had very good careers.

    Everybody has their own definition of elite, that is the problem. Maybe we should be more transparent with what we are asking for from an elite.

    If I rate GazOC as elite by my own standards, if others have slightly higher standards it is no guarantee that 99% of the forum won't disagree.

    Therein lies the problem.

    I would say Gaz is an elite poster but TFFP and Flint are 'merely' world class ;).

    I take more offence in being in the same bracket as Flint than being a notch below an ATG like Gaz.

    I think the problem with using the term in respect to Calzaghes career (and is how its generally used "against" boxers) is that it tends to get used to put down wins like Kessler, Mitchel, Brewer etc which, as Flint has said, are very good wins against world class opponents.
