I am sorry if my standards are high, but when you say Elite i wanna see special

[Larry the boss]

The boxers who I see with special talent today are Loma, Crawford..These 2 are really so far about everyone else its crazy..There are some real good boxers today but these guys are i a league of their own

[FrankieClutch]

Mikey Garcia, Errol Spence, Jermall Charlo, Canelo, and GGG would be in that category for me (adding to your Bud and Loma list)

You seem to be very high on Loma, I'd wager that Mikey would beat him

loma

crawford

^Top 5 in the sport at the moment.

I see a lot of talent in these young cats though.

The future is bright for the sport of boxing.

Well, there's a definition for the word elite, and there's a definition for the word special. Words have specific meanings for a reason, and what I constantly see is people choosing to define "elite fighters" in a way that only supports their agenda.

Elite fighters are those at the top. Just because some fighters are elite in this generation, doesn't mean they would be elite in any other generation, but that's the way it works. That's why we can also classify fighters with other terms like hall of Famers, contemporary greats, all time greats, etc.

If you want to talk about special fighters, just say that, but we don't need to start coming up with our unique definitions of already existing terms. That's like me saying I only consider a fighter a champion if he unifies... who cares!? A fighter is a champion by holding a recognized championship belt and that's the end of that!

I think we also need to separate "Elite" from "slick". Some people think elite fighters must be slick. Pac was unorthodox and simple but he was elite for a time. Spence might be elite, even though he's not slick.

[jas]

yea , crawford and loma have silky skills but there are active fighters out there who are effective and i believe would compete in any era. inoue is the best fighter i have ever seen , including mayweather and pacquaio. and guys like spence would probably give a tough fight to anyone ever. and it can be argued wilder is the most powerful puncher ever so he would always have a chance in a h2h fight with anyone

Nah not Charlo or Canelo. I agree with Spence and Garcia though

[kidbazooka]

Mikey, canelo, Spence, Crawford are special the rest are very overrated imo.

They are two different words.
Special is higher than elite.
All special fighters are elite.
Not all elite fighters are special.

Elite fighters are top ranked guys that have proven a lot in a few years. But we�ve seen many of them thruout history.
guys like cotto, sergio come to mind in the recent era. Elite during their primes but not special.

Special fighters are only few of their breed.
