    It depends on your definition of elite. I'd say 'best in class' is a reasonable standard and that would place Fury, Taylor and I would say Joshua in that category as there's a legitimate debate between him and Fury for the number one spot at HW.

    Three isn't bad, it's certainly been worse!

    Fair comment with Martin and Stiverne but Fielding wasn't the full World Champion with his belt, it was one of those Regular types off memory which I don't count.

    IBO doesn't count either.

    You'll sometimes get a small % sneaking through the quality control, it happens everywhere in life but don't let this diminish the rest.

    Finally, again I agree with you that there are too many belts.

    Ideally there would be just the one belt but having two is okay as you then get unifications. Starts getting silly after this. Don't get me started on Franchise, Diamond, Silver, Interim, Regular, etc belts.

    As if. Gets battered around the ring by a short morbidly obese man, to then run away from him in a boring rematch which saw the short morbidly obese man even fatter, and then an easy victory against an old, short pudding Pulev who came with heehaw except an attempted straight right hand that would continuously miss. Where's the improvement?

    Don't be duped by the incessant Sky propaganda - this is their latest Joshua schtick.

    And fury went life and death with otto ****ing wallin last year but hes unstoppable apparently.

    Its becoming very tedious now for me. Im hoping for a double KO if they meet.

    Warrington is class imo. To beat Selby, Frampton and Galahad!!! Three top fighters on the bounce. He’s one of our best, actions speak louder than words.

    He`s certainly better P4P than AJ and has a better resume too.

    If you're talking about elite fighters, you're talking about a small group globally so to even have 1 British fighter in that conversation is an achievement imo.

    I would have Crawford, Spence, Loma, Canelo, Lopez, Usyk, Inoue, Davis, GGG, Estrada, Pac and Mikey Garcia all in that elite bracket globally. Some of them have lost because they went too far up in weight but ultimately they all have that extra gear that sets them apart from world class...so you're realistically only talking about 10-15 elite fighters.

    Fury, Joshua, Warrington and Taylor are the closest we have to that bracket. It's just a couple more defining wins from each of them to prove that they have that extra gear. In some people's eyes they are already there, it's subjective.

    Fury, Taylor and Joshua are certainly elite. (at least 2 of them top 10 P4P)
    Uk is certainly better than 97% of countries at boxing in the world
    and you are certainly a troll :)

    I'm guessing Geography isn't your strong point.

    Please tell me which countries from South America we are 'millions of miles behind'

    all the South American countries
    Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Uruguay, Venezuela.

    I'll wait :D

    Very impressed with Warrington against Selby and Frampton but I felt both opponents on the slide.

    Great little fighter and hope the unification fights are made.
