    NO, you even called him a B level fighter.

    No one thinks Khan is elite. He's a glass jawed fraud.

    Elite fighters don't get starched as much as he does.

    Well, I'll first give the definition of elite I like (nevermind it's the only one I know, lol) Elite is the capability to beat anyone you are put in the ring with, I think he has that. Unfortunately, neither Pac or Floyd will fight him to find out. But, I think everyone can imagine Khan beating everyone around him below that level at least, and if Floyd or Pac don't fight him for us to find out his true potential how can we really ever know?

    He looked elite at one time, same as Maidana, or Zab Judah. Now, I think he's a gatekeeper. Those losses to Garcia, Peterson, and Prescott put some real doubt on just how good he is. I think he needs to avenge those losses before he can be considered elite again.

    He has elite level speed. There is absolutely nothing else about him that is elite.

    Has the ability to out-class everyone in his weight class right now...but once a big punch lands on him all that is lost.

    I define elite as the very best, the P4P fighters not just some titlist or top contender. Khan is world class but he's never been elite.
