Im callin' it.....if Khan doesn't do Garcia NASTY like...he is gone from the "elite"

[Ray*]

Khan is elite? Wow

[hitem27]

Khan will have his hands full with Garcia and khan is a kid his damn self lol. he has a lot of holes in his game that garcia will exploit and Khan never was elite(in the top 10 p4p) he has a lot to prove. Khan will get his shot once the real 140 king Bradley beats down the pacman

Bradley ducked Khan.

To fight Pacquiao.

Name all the active elite fighters in 140-147?

anyone? ....

[Money_May]

Yes you can, he fought equally as ****** as he did against Maidana, showed up with the same defensive holes and inability to fight on the inside, so you definitely can. Bradley on the other hand completely dominated and legitimately dropped Peterson.

So punching round the back of the head is legitimately dropping someone?

To fight Pacquiao.

Yeah a whole year later good argument!

Im callin' it.....if Khan doesn't do Garcia NASTY like...he is gone from the "elite" list at 140....(haha fine is that better?? hahah ya'll some nit picking b!tches)
No way with his resume up to now and STRUGGLING vs Garcia should keep him there....this should be a showcase fight for him.....anything less than a NASTY ko win is a loss in status....is it just me?????? wachugot???

I consider Khan as number 1 JWW due to Bradley's default, and I am being generous to Amir.

I wouldn't consider him an elite though. He fights like an amateur. His defense consist of two basic moves; backpedalling in straight line and standing in front of the opponent with two hands covering his face.

His only weapon in his arsenal is his speed.

I agree; anything less than a KO is a loss in status for Khan.

Because of the promotional dispute with Shaw. Bradley already knew that Arum was gonna sign him and line him up as an opponent for Pac. You don't duck a pitbull to fight a lion.

Of course Khan is elite he is an elite 140lb fighter that's not even up for debate.

People always have varying standards when it comes to a fighter being "elite" but when you are the best in your weight class (a decent weight class at that) I find it hard to argue against him being elite.

e·lite/iˈlēt/ A group of people considered to be the best in a particular society or category, esp. because of their power, talent, or wealth.

As I said Khan being arguably the best in his weight class makes him elite by the very definition of the word.

Not in boxing. Winner of a particular weight class populated by bum fighters, tomato cans, cab drivers, and noobies doesn't translate to an elite class fighter. IMO

If you bait the pitbull and the pitbull stands in front of you ready to fight but you walk away with your tail between your legs and then choose to fight a lion a year later, the fact is you pussied away from the pitbull
