I am sorry if my standards are high, but when you say Elite i wanna see special

[Jsmooth9876]

There was an article here yesterday calling Danny Jacobs elite. Is Jacobs elite or special?

Nope, just a solid fighter. One of those guys who could give anyone trouble on any night but you wouldn't be surprised if he lost to the 10th rated guy in the division either.

Well put. That's what Jacobs is: Average.

I think Cletus Seldin qualifies as a 'special' fighter, but in a different way.

Remember when people thought Broner was elite because he was fighting tiny guys.

You really dont know if someone is elite until they step up the competition and win.

That's a fact.

You can't be elite until you prove yourself against top competition.

[VatoMulatto]

Boxing is one of few sports where you can be ranked a top 5-10 fighter and still not be consider elite.

I think we also need to separate "Elite" from "slick". Some people think elite fighters must be slick. Pac was unorthodox and simple but he was elite for a time. Spence might be elite, even though he's not slick.

Havent seen this idiot post in a while, no wonder

Yeah, exactly ^.

If you want to see special look in the mirror !

If we are looking at resume plus eye test, it has to be Usyk and Loma. They have proven their greatness. Crawford hasn't

[dan_cov]

Usyk and Lomachenko I'd class as elite.
Crawford still needs to beat better fighters for me too call him elite.
Spence possibly but he still needs to do more.

As for Inoue I'll print his resume off and use it as toilet paper.
