    Today? None.

    Do you mean overall, which boxers are super elite? None.

    But there are boxers with super elite attributes, just not across the board to make them super elite.

    Usyk for example, does not have any super elite attributes. But he is upper world class in many areas, all accept his inside fighting capabilities 'I would not even ranked this area of his game world class'.

    Tyson Fury is another fight with zero super elite attributes. His movement is flattered by his opponents, and his defense is completely overrated.

    Fury's last opponent, could hardly move.

    Terrence Crawford, Canelo Alvarez, Errol Spence Junior, are fighters who have elite or super elite attributes in some area's of their game.

    Uysk: Speed = Upper World Class. Movement = Upper World Class. Combination punch ability = Upper World Class, the reason why he is not elite is because he struggles to throw hooks, and predominantly likes straight punches, Defense = Upper World Class, Tactical Mind = Upper World Class, but could potentially be Elite. Adaptability = Upper World Class, he has not really been forced to show any feats of elite level adaptability. Endurance = Upper World Class, potentially elite. Durability = Upper World Class, potentially elite.

        Same weaknesseses from 2013's loss from Mayweather. Great movement. Jabbing. Stamina in deep waters. Now we know why he avoided Andrade and Benavidez.

          Feet! He has Choppy Flat Feet, he don't fight with a Bounce or a Rhythm...

          This man is what 6'9 and almost 300 lbs. and is able to Float and is lighter on his feet than most of the smaller fighters today which is very impressive. Also until Mike Tyson pointed it out, never noticed that he doesn't have a good consistent jab. You CANNOT cut the damn Ring off without a Jab, even more difficult to cut the Ring Off when you're just chasing the KO and throwing all Power Shots. Even bigger problem when the Power Shots can't hurt the opponent and the Opponents is sticking you with a Jab and Countering everything you throw

            Poor stamina
            Slow feet
            No jab
            Seems to have forgotten how to throw combos
            Very obvious when he gets frustrated

              Is it that he can't adjust or be versatile, or that he chooses not to? I'm not disagreeing, because the result it the same. But I think he's gotten into a rut where he believes he can walk anyone down, so he doesn't even try to adjust.

                Personally, I think its lazyness. I think he hasnt worked on his boxing in a long time and that lazyness is whats got him fighting at 175. How completely unprepared he was for Bivol speaks volumes.
