    Which fighter you believe can pull off something like that? And on who? Don't mention fights that have happened already. I'm trying to come up with some :think.

    Dont know, maybe Soto would have had a change against Marquez or Pacquiao at 130.

    Clottey over Mosley. Clottey would trouble Mosley with his tight guard and counter punches much like Winky was able to imo.

    I know this one already happened too but...

    Is Margarito considered an elite fighter? If he isn't, is his win vs Cotto and example of these? Or maybe Cotto is not elite himself?

    I think Margarito is a very good fighter who has done plenty in his career, I think he's getting a lot of hate lately (understandably) but too many are calling him a "horrible fighter" now. Was he ever elite?

    Sure Margarito is elite. He's got a black cloud hovering over him now, but PBF ducked him for years; he could have got the best of Paul Williams if he hadn't been sleeping the first few rounds, and he twice dismantled physically and mentally a dominant fighter headed for stardom in Kermit Cintron -- the second time Cintron hit him with the kitchen sink and Margarito didn't even blink. And of course the Cotto fight is still mired in controversy, but notwithstanding, it was a classic battle between two warriors which Margarito won as much with his chin and relentlessness as his (perhaps) hardened gloves.

    I agree but Clottey is an elite fighter.

    Theres a **** load of non elite fighters I think would beat Caballero(if hes considered elite).

    I too consider Clottey as an elite fighter but realize that the general perception of him isn't quite as highly regarded.
