If you have won a world title then by definition you must be world class, i.e he mixes with world class opposition.
He's not an elite fighter, and he's certainly not p4p but he's world class for sure,
how could you be a world champ and not? 
The sanctioning bodies and their champs/rankings are not always a legitimate representation of the talent of the divisions they rank.
So you would define "world class" as anyone who holds a championship belt?
Green is definitely world class in that he's one of the very best in his weight class, or has been in the past.
The Ring have had him in the top 4 or 5 at supermiddle before and he will likely crash the top 10 at crusierweight soon now he's come back.
He's a former world champ, how is he not world class?
Do you only count the best two fighters in a weight class world class? If so, what is elite?
