what is your criteria for A level and or elite fighters?
and regarding Bradley, the 140 division isn't that great to begin with i.e. Hatton has 1 foot in the door on retirement, not too much left from him, Holt horribly inconsistent, and not the greatest of chins, Kotlenik- has a couple losses, still a solid name but is he Elite? Urango - tough, rugged and strong but horribly limited as his losses vs Hatton and Berto showed. Witter - in his mid 30's and can't stick around too much longer Campbell - only moved up to 140 cuz he failed to make Lightweight in his last fight, unproven at 140. and well Pacquiao, he's the biggest name at 140 right now, and probably has to fight Welter's if he wants the money.
best of the rest - Ngoudjo, Malignaggi Randall Bailey and Devon Alexander.
Ngoudjo- got dominated by Urango and is one or 2 more losses from fading into obscurity
Malignaggi - pwned vs Hatton, I put him in the same boat as Herman, however Paulie does have a bit of name power behind him and a big name promoter backing him
Bailey - a bit aged, best he could do is win a belt vs Urango, outside of that can't see him doing much else.
Alexander - still very young and only 18-0, big test in his next fight for a title vs Junior Witter.
so is Bradley really THAT good, or does his undefeated record make him stand out in what isn't the strongest of divisions.

Okay he would be B+ to be accurate. I consider elite to be A+, just a notch above A level. Don't forget to add Lamont Peterson in that list, I think he's better than Alexander.Last edited by Boxingwizard; 06-09-2009, 04:55 PM.
