What exactly do you consider elite? If you're the best fighters around that weight class, you're elite, IMO. Genaro Hernanez was considered the...
Floyd is in the top three at 130. Arguello, Mayweather, and Chavez...Or you can put Nelson in there too.
Tommy.
Roy had an early stoppage or two (Sosa) but he deserved all the decisions he won.
The only two guys to beat Lennox Lewis. Who wins? I like Rahman to outjab McCall and win a rather dull decision.
Roy. He's not necessarily better, but just bigger.
I think PBF wins this one. He has the skills, speed, and style to greatly trouble Arguello. Obviously it will not be a total cakewalk like...
Got this from the Chico-Boom Boom thread. Who wins, Mancini or Castillo?

Some of Oscar's stamina problems I think have to do with him being tense and not relaxed in there, but it was also because of how much Oscar was...
You can add a matchup at 147, just for the hell of it.
DLH cut up that faded version of JCC (Twice)...what happens if it's a prime JCC? You can say 135 or 140, as Chavez was at or near his prime at...
Who wins?
Who wins and why?
Haven't seen this one before. Who wins?
There were more close rounds in DLH-Trinidad. Whitaker-Chavez was a far worse decision.
That's the problem, Oscar would get hit more when he's not using lateral movement. Oscar frustrated the hell out of Trinidad in the first fight...
How about the Hearns at age 28 that won a middleweight title? Let's say he only goes up one division instead of two.
Say it's at 168, since Calslappy never fought at 160. Watson weighed above the MW limit for a number of his fights, although only one real fight...
No I meant earlier in the early 00s. Not now. I'd pick Oscar right now. Semi-active > inactive
Any difference? I think Tito legimately wins this fight this time.
In 1980.
I've read articles about how Tyson was supposedly scared of Foreman, how Cus told him that Foreman eats up fighters like Tyson/Frazier/Marciano,...
How does it turn out?
I think Jackson stops Duran. Duran was a real smart and tough fighter, he still showed his slickness in fights at 160 against Hagler and...
Poor Tszyu. Always losing in mythical matchups here. I agree that he makes it competitive though.
Oscar trained hard for 12 round fights and still had some stamina problems in the late rounds. Sure there's pacing, but him not being a relaxed...
Oscar. Obviously Arguello wins at 130....135 is tough to call.
What did Oscar do at 135 or 140 that would suggest that he takes out Mayweather? In six rounds, no less? Dominating smaller fighters moving up...
Gatti gets his ass kicked again. Although Gatti was bigger than the guys Oscar fought while he was at 135, that was perhaps Gatti's worst weight...
