Is Zab Judah an Elite fighter ?

[Kev]

To me it's clear that us fans all seem to have different opinions on what elite is.

An elite fighter to me is one of the best in the business.

Pacquiao, Mayweather, Martinez, Marquez, etc to me are "elite" fighters.

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.

When i rate fighters as elite, i rate them highly no doubt.

I voted yes on the basis that elite increasingly means guys who are at the very top. I wouldn't consider Zab an elite fighter in boxing overall, but I'd argue that he is one of the elite 140lbers. Also having scanned the other thread, I got the impression that it was implied Judah wouldn't beat Khan because he wasn't elite, sort of implying that Khan himself is elite. Tbh I should have just voted for don't care

I can agree with this.

You don't think he's elite but you think he's one of the better fighters at 1bea40 which i agree with.

Khan isn't elite by the way, not yet anyway. Maybe in the future.

Judah won't Khan because he's not elite. He won't beat Khan because he always fades and Khan is the better fighter at this point.

No way... He has lost all major fights he has been in and returns to win a few against c level fighters only to lose again. Like Mayweather said before about him is that he is a front runner and then gases later on. Judah will lose again against Khan and he will be right back in our faces a few fights later against a Bradley or Maidana and lose again. I swear the man is only 32 but it seems he has been around this sport alot longer. He should try Morales or Barrera after his knockout loss to Khan. I'm curious to see the game plan Whitaker has for him when the bell rings.
