    Fighters that are just a level below elite

    Which fighters would you say are good to very good but not at the elite level but are maybe just a step below.

    I’d personally say Maidana, Matthysse, Peterson, Danny Garcia, Judah fit in this category. Matthysse is one of my favorite fighters but he always came up short against really tough fighters most of the time. Khan I think had a small few year window where he was considered an elite level fighter but than once he got KO’d by Garcia he’s never been the same.

      If someone has fought on premium cable for a title then they are an elite fighter. You have to remember that there are literally thousands of boxers at any given time that are active and we only get to see maybe the top 5% on tv. All those fighters you listed are elite.

            i'M of the opinion that there are very few truly elite fighters in the world. Maybe 10 or so.
