    Not IMO, it will take a Heavy Puncher to beat em, i dont see Floyd danceing away all night - Cotto cuts the ring off to well for that andcan be SO Relentless!

          He beat an elite fighter and was on par with him the whole bout, he is a Class A fighter for sure.

                  theres but not yet.

                  He won a veteran still he got couple of things to do to consider an elite in my view.

                  But he is in between abit above average A fighter he many good contenders.
