    He's borderline to me. I don't see anything special either but I'm trying to base it on what they have proven and he has basically unified his division and holds all of the belts. (Peterson's belt is a fluke). I have a really hard time not calling a unified lineal champion an elite fighter. And let's not forget 140 was one of the strongest divisions in boxing and Garcia was the last man standing.

    I think if he can somehow get that WBO title from Ruslan it would push him across.
    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.
