Elite talent don't lose their belts in their second defense and get a draw with Julio Diaz.
Alexander is an established name and a former World Champion who unified 140 lbs and won a portion at 147 lbs and has beaten solid-top names (Maidana, Matthysse, Bailey, Witter). You can keep going on and on with it all you can, but Alexander is an elite talent.Last edited by VG_Addict; 04-14-2015, 12:42 PM.

Carlos Molina/Emanuel Taylor and John Molina are not big fights
right now Broner is rated very high at Junior Welterweight .. despite having not beaten anyone in the top 10 ... how is that possible?
I tend to agree with the following - "Amir Khan is the only quality boxer you listed, the rest are all over rated, low skill, low athleticism, "
don't particularly care for the athleticism but right now I think guys like Broner/Garcia are just hiding behind good records
lets see how Broner looks vs someone in the top 10 @ 140
and if Bradley-Porter comes off, that'd be a good fight for Tim to re-estabolish himself and gain some much needed momentum
right now the only defense against these guys not being Elite/World Class is potential, which is pretty meaningless at the moment
I'm talking in ring accomplishments ... and ya'll's response is to cite "oh they could be better" or etc

I only voted for Thurman, but I should have voted for Bradley as well but I hit submit & can't vote for him now.
Khan would be if he had a better chin. That's his huge weakness. His win against Alexander was very good, but Alexander is only a slightly above average fighter. He needs to beat better opponents to prove he's an elite fighter. Broner already lost twice in my opinion to Maidana & de Leon so it's hard to say he's an elite fighter. The rest are decent fighters, but nowhere near elite level.

DG may have peaked but he is still a top level fighter and has all the makings of a truly elite fighter.
Khan and Bradley are already elite.
The rest are at various stages I'm their careers

On this forum almost every fighter I see is underrated. Just not necessarily in relation to the other big names. But by themselves, almost always underrated. People here can't even appreciate a good solid contender for what he is let alone guys with real world titles on their record. It's either future ATG or overrated hype job. Everyone on this list is world class capable on their best night. No less. If that isn't special, special doesn't mean anything. It doesn't mean they're all top ten p4p fighters in the sport or anything, but these are all people better at what they do than you'd have to guess most of the people on this damn forum.
