When I call fighters "elite" in a division, that means only 2, or less, fighters in the division are good enough to beat them (or "thought" to be good enough to beat em...betting odds)
Swift was & Crawford is elite at 140....and there aren't 3 fighters currently at 140 that would be favored over AB. Peterson? He's not in their category imo bc I've seen him KOd in 2 by Matthysse, & then both Crawford/Postol, as well as AB, would be the favorite in the fight against him at 140 (imo) .
I did think he beat Swift...but I thought he lost to Diaz. Makes it a wash
Controversy & PEDs over Khan
Dominated by Bradley
I'd take Peterson over Postol but y'all already know how I feel bout That uncoordinated Euro CAC
As far as the argument goes...ask yourself this...if #swiftset in March 2015 said Lamont was elite what would the reaction round here be??
We woulda been killed
1st fight at 140....won via wide UD as 10-0, 9-1, & 8-2.
emmanuel taylor - beaten more convincingly by chris algieri
Same Chris Algieri that beat Provodnikov with 1 eye more convincingly than Lucas Matthysse?
Same one you had 0 problem with facing Pacquiao
You ordered Pacquiao vs Algieri right?
Let's not put a "
" at the end of Algieri's name when you never said anything bad about Algieri or doubted him
Beat more convincingly by AB than Matthysse. Never once was the fight in doubt of AB losing nor did he have to climb up off the canvas.....twice
Sugar John Molina was taken to Boxing School by AB, ended up losing a shutout on the cards....and then took the lesson AB gave him to go on and, ALSO, beat Provodnikov more convincingly than Matthysse did
khabib allakhverdiev - only known for beating a joan guzman who was 2 divisions above his prime division because he couldn't control his eating not because he actually put in work at 140
not A tier
Khabib Allakhverdiev is also known for getting robbed by Jessie Vargas of his belt....same Jessie Vargas you have no problem with Pacquiao facing
What AB do?
Dominated & stopped him. No controversy. Easy work.
Would you like me to break down Matthysse's resume at 140

If he was smart he'd come in just above the Jr. MW limit to retain his speed, strength & stamina to give himself the best chance. He really doesn't know how his body will respond to the 60 limit.
Who has Buiscuits beat past 135 thats better than Peterson??
Thats a dumb question...so I'm gonna ask you the same in reverse. Who has Peterson beat better than AB?

When The Machine is still outta order, you gotta pump up his resume somehow
I didn't think it would come to calling Lamont Peterson an elite fighter at 140 though
Timothy Bradley & Lucas Matthysse already showed us that is an impossible statement
King PED is a good fighter though. He's a B fighter at 140, which is why I grouped him with Matthysse & Postol
KO > decision
Same Chris Algieri that beat Provodnikov with 1 eye more convincingly than Lucas Matthysse?

didnt order pac-algieri

quite the moving of goalposts there....why don't you tell me about khabib's 140 competition...and please show me a receipt of what i think about pac-vargas and how that ties in your argument

So which one is it?
didnt order pac-algieri
*files away for next time you start hating on a Boxer...right next to your "KO > decision" motto*
KO > decision..not even a KD in that decision to at least help your argument..easy
This logic is outstanding
So for you, "KOs over everything" huh? But yet you said the exact opposite when touting Chris Algieri's win over Emmanuel Taylor....so again, which one is it?

You been moving the goal posts this entire time, I thought I was at a mini-hoop at Dave & Busters on random
You said what Allakhverdiev was known for...I helped you out since you didn't wanna include his fight against Vargas in your post
Khabib allakhverdiev is a former Champion at 140 & his 3 biggest fights are him dominating Guzman, being robbed by Vargas, and being dominated and stopped by AB...but you know that already.
I do find it hilarious how you keep talking about how Guzman wasn't at his prime weight so basically the fight shouldn't count, when in reality, it was Guzman's 5th consecutive fight at Junior Welterweight...but yet GGG is about to face someone who has never fought above Welterweight & you haven't panned that matchup once
