Originally posted by BIG GUNZ View PostBasically what I’m asking is which fighters are considered special. Where they’re just so more skilled than the others. For instance I view Crawford, Spence & Thurman as special fighters but not Porter or Garcia. They both already lost twice & likely would lose when they fight any of the other 3 I mentioned.

Lomachenko
Crawford
Usyk
Mikey Garcia
Canelo
GGG
Thurman (when he was actively fighting)
Spence
Wilder & Joshua are the best Heavyweights currently but are they really elite level talents? They likely would be mid level fighters if they fought in the 80s & 90s for instance. Not sure if they fit in or not. I guess in the current era they are but not in general of the history of the Heavyweight division.
Elite level guys should be guys that really show they are levels above the rest and the guys you listed are it.
Davis still has a few more wins to prove he is elite even in this era. If Fury wins Wilder, he is definetly on the list. Big if considering the past few years..
For the past era, I would easily pick Loma, Mikey and Crawford.Last edited by mvooom; 10-14-2018, 03:05 PM.

To me the top 1% in any division are world class or elite boxers. Which in most divisions means the top 10-20 guys should be considered elite or world class. In some of the lower less competitive divisions that could be less than 10 guys. But overall there are 20,000 boxers at any given time that are active. So that means there are ~200 elite level boxers among 17 divisions which basically works out to the top 10 being elite or world class in my eyes.
