Originally posted by 4Corners View PostMolina isn't an elite SWW??? He beat Cintron, when he was a Top SWW, and arguably won against Lara, who schooled Williams. He was also beating Kirkland before the weird DQ. Molina is without a doubt one of the Top 5 154 lb fighters in the world.
So because Williams struggles with Southpaws, that should take away from Lara absolutely dominating him????
Lara is going to f**k Vanes up.
Also Im giving Lara the pwill fight but every southpaw that paul faced he looked like crap against... quitana and sergio also got to pwilly

Originally posted by Pretty Boy Greg View PostOh I know my boy isnt elite yet... i only consider Floyd, Cotto and (gulp) Alvarez to be elite in the 154 division... everyone else is jockeying for position in that division or is just at contender status. I will say that the winner of this fight will be elite status and as well as Trout if he pulls off a win against Cotto

Originally posted by kiaba360 View PostCanelo is perceived as "elite" because he has GBP and a big fan-base behind him. IMO, he's a 2nd-tier fighter. The winner of Lara/Vanes needs to fight Canelo to be perceived as elite by the casual fan.
How do you classify fighters as elite and who all would you consider to be elite?

lara may have gotten some unnecessary hype, i agree, but with that said, vanes is not in the same league as lara, and lara will take vanes to school. comparing wins in the amateurs does not mean remotely close to the same thing in the pros. A knockdown counts the same as a jab in the AMs for gods sakes, what a silly comparison, but whateva...

Timothy Bradley lost to Andre Berto twice in 2003, he also lost to Alfredo Angulo, and like you said Vanes Martirosyan. Obviously, all of these guys are huge, and this was Jr Middleweight. Look at them all as pros now, Tim Bradley is the most successful one of them all, despite the controversial fight against Pacquiao.
Vanes and Angulo have, by far, been the worst of those 4.
