Originally posted by ( . Y . ) View PostKeep hearing this everywhere. People are trying to tell me Joshua is world class. No. Not even close.
Only the elite are world class. Kovalev, GGG. These are world class fighters. Won belts in MULTIPLE countries. That is world class.
You're wrong. Totally wrong.
This post is pure fail
a world class fighter is anyone who is ranked highly enough to fight for a world title, and obviously, anyone who wins a world title
all legit contenders are world class. even someone like Robert Guerrero is world class
ELITE is a different, way superior thing
elite is the cream of the crop, the Pacquiaos, Mayweathers, Wards, Kovalevs, the top P4P
All elites are world class fighters, but not all world class fighters are eliteLast edited by lopetego; 04-07-2016, 06:01 PM.

Originally posted by ( . Y . ) View Postyou're confusing world level with world class. Elite means top 30 or so. You mentioned all time greats. Generational fighters.
Elite is the best of the best, the creme de la creme, very few fighters are elite
When you say ¨the rich elite¨ , you're refering to the richest, most powerful people, the ones who control the economy and therefore the world.
not just some random chump who won the lottery and bought a big mansion and a lamborghini. The guy might be rich, but he'd be far from elite

This thread sucks. Joshua and Martin are 2 of the best heavyweightfighters on the planet. They survived the amateur system, passed all their tests on their early pro careers and built themselves into world class contenders competing for world championship belts.
Their hard work and commitment got them this far and they earned the right to be called world class and bitter internet trolls who just sit behind a keyboard spewing negativity won't change that.
