Judah's not up there with them, never was.

Obviously other fans think that being world class means your elite, don't think i can agree with it though.

Ricky Hatton was world class who won world title in multiple divisions, etc but came up short against two "elite" fighters. World class operator yes....but elite no.

I guess it's your opinion on it though, keep voting folks.
Your definition of elite is more a definition of all time great imo.

Floyd, Manny, Marquez will be first ballot Hall of Famers and are some of the very best fighters of our generation. The jury is still out on Martinez.
