    More to the point, the very same detractors would be on his nuts big time.

    You said you would consider Trout elite with GGGs resume then said GGG is borderline?

    Look I dont even deny GGG looks special. I agree talent wise he looks great. But so have many other. Was Bute elite before he fought Froch? Bute had the same amount of defenses as GGG and against similar opp actually maybe better with the likes of Bika , Glen Johnson , Andrade and Miranda. Yet he looked elite against them B class fighters but when he stepped up to A class he was proven to not be elite. Same with GGG. Hes not elite until he beats somebody who is A Level.

    I also don't get your RJJ example. He was P4P number 1 when he moved up. So was clearly elite and was weight jumping. He started at a lighter weight than GGG. He searched for that defining fight by moving up and fighting James Toney.

    So after all that I actually agree:lol: borderline elite i won't argue with. Oh but saying Jones doesn't have a defining win? You mean at 175 right?

    Ok i assume your referring to DM. No RJJ didnt fight him. But he was already proven as elite in a P4P sense before that so I dont get your point because i was saying GGG isn't proven as elite in any sense. Even if i was to concede that he could reach that status by knocking over good top 10 160 fighters for years then he still hasn't done enough. Rosado and Stevens are journeymen. Adama:lol: Who else? Who did he take his title off btw?

    Jones win over Reggie Johnson could be seen as elite aswell.

    What because John David Jackson beat Johnson you just ask that?:lol: I mentioned Stevens and Adama because after Macklin , Geale and Rubio they are the names after. Thats how thin his resume is when it comes to good fighters. Reggie Johnson is much better than Geale or Macklin for sure.

    He was elevated to full world title status when Geale ducked him to fight Mundine and he has since defended it against Stevens, Adama, Geale and Rubio.

    What are you going to argue Geale would have beat him? lame.

    They still would not relent. Simply claim "weak era" for their people.

    N'Dam is a much better win than any on GGGs resume. Geale isnt 'world class', neither are Stevens or Macklin

    Your Jones argument is ridiculous because im not arguing whether GGG is a elite middleweight or not. Im arguing whether he is elite period. So talking about whether Jones is an elite Lightheavy is pointless because he was proven elite period. Its really simple.
