    Bradley and Donaire

    Fights with Alexander and Montiel in the first two months of the new year will put them on course to compete for Fighter of the Year next year. Donaire, since he'd be fighting a fellow top 10 pound for pounder, and Bradley because he will be taking out the clear cut #2 or #3 fighter at his division, which happens to be one of the best in the sport (I think Alexander CLEARLY deserves to be higher ranked than Khan, but I more than understand someone with a differing position).

    Who has Bradley defeated to consider him "elite"?

    Thats what I was thinking. I consider a fighter elite when they defeat and especially wipe out a top boxer in their division. Sometimes though just putting up a good fight the whole fight is good enough ala J. Clottley no?

    Damn really? I consider him elite. Beat Judah, gave Cotto hell, good fight with Margarito. Only thing is he fought like a ***** aganist Pacman. He simply doesn't throw enough. I think he gives any fighter at 147 lbs a hard fight. I'll put my money on him vs Berto.

    The difference between elite and good is he would have beaten them all
