It makes sense. He cleaned out 140 and has proven his worth with wins over Khan and Matthysse. I guess he can be regarded as an elite fighter depending on your own criteria. He deserves to be there based on his accomplishments.
He reminds me of Mares, not stylistically but because of the way he wins. Both men have had many close fights and have looked vulnerable, whereas guys like Floyd, Ward or Wlad look near invincible. Even before the Jhonny fight, I never thought Mares was an elite fighter. That's why I have boxers like Gamboa and Mikey above them on my list. Danny and Mares both have much better resumes but Gamboa and Mikey possesses better skills and never had close fights.
