    Tell me how you figure none of those fighters are potentially elite? With your clinical eye, maybe?

    But how do you figure there is noone special there? Many of those guys have been pro for a short time, too early to tell how far they can go, Kubrat Pulev for example has faced very good competition for having just 8 fights.

    Like I said in the topiclead Boystov has a chance, a few of the guys mentioned aren't tested yet and Pulev (I only saw him fight once) looks good but not 'special', no 'wow factor' if you catch my drift!
    None of these guys are really jumping out, most big names of the past made big waves early in their careers.

    They will be the elite. Once the Klitschkos retire, these will be the top 10 guys we'll be watching.

    I think people are saying they wouldn't be elite today. None of these guys can beat a K bro, which is fine, they're all still young and not far into their careers (although it's about time for Boystov to start breaking into the top 10).

    Why don't you use your third eye and explain to me how any of these fighter are elite. You made the statement, back it up. :D

    If a guy with 8 fights like Pulev could defeat a Klitschko that would be mighty impressive lol.

    Where did I say they're elite? I said it's too early to tell if some of these guys will be elite or not, I suggest you step up your reading comprehension. You're the one who made the statement that none of those guys have the potential to be elite, back up your statement, if you can.

    Johnathan Banks deserves a mention as well. He's American, so there you go. Really though, it's immaterial to me whether we're dominating the division or anything. Good fighters are good fighters, I don't care where they're from. I love the Klitschko's. It's just sad that the talent pool in general is so damn thin.

    Probably, if he can't get the worldtitle anymore he can always go for the title 'worlds oldest active boxer'.
    I think by then the WBA has a belt for that too.

    With guys like Helenius, Chambers, Pulev or Boytsov? I don't think so.

    Chambers is only 27 years old I think, he'll probably go on to pick a title when the Klitschkos retire, or maybe even sooner if Haye gives him a shot, but that is highly doubtful since Chambers is not one of the WBA circle-jerk :yep
